[Foundation-l] Start "questions and answers" site within Wikimedia

Thu Jul 21 20:03:13 UTC 2011

There was a push to launch a stackexchange site relating to Wikipedia
a few months back. It's currently in the commitment phase - needing
people to commit to seeding it.

SE is a proven QA platform; so worth considering.

Getting an advise is too complicated now if a person has very diverse questions, he/she needs to look for various wiki discussion pages. Not very easy for newbies. Could be inspired by the help site of OpenStreetMap.
