A:

Q1: What is your view on the purpose, aims and benefits of TCS
  stackexchange?

A clearing house to collect expertise in different areas of TCS, and draw on the wisdom of experts in ways that can't be transmitted just in papers: the "folklore", the "intuition" and even just the pointers. Kind of a virtual "teatime" for researchers in the field. 

Q2: What are your specific aim, targets and benefits in participation
  at TCS stackexchange?

For me personally, I feel happy if this community is thriving: somewhat selfishly, I feel like I had a role in getting it started, so its continued success makes me feel like my time is well spent :). Specifically, I want a resource like this so I can ask questions from time to time (and get answers, as I often do). My participation is therefore a "pay it forward": I contribute so that others might be encouraged to as well, and I have some knowledge that I can share with the community at large. 

A:

A1: I believe TCS stackexchange is the future of doing research or at least an integral part of doing research in the future. It is an innovative medium for research collaboration. It has great potential of morphing into primary method of conducting research in the future.
A2: I am glad to get the chance of interacting with experts in the field and get exposed to interesting research trends and ideas.
