I would absolutely recommend Stack Exchange. The software is far more suitable for
community Q&A than Mediawiki. The Stack Exchange network of sites also share much of
the free content and community spirit of Wikimedia. For example, Q&As are licensed
under CC-BY-SA and the sites are community run.
Thanks for the heads up, Tom. I wasn't aware of this proposal. For others, the link
is:
http://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/13716/wikis-and-wikipedia
The promise to "commit" to the project doesn't require you to log in. The
"commitment" is as follows:
"I commit to participate actively in Wikis and Wikipedia for at least three months,
especially during the private beta, and to ask or answer at least ten questions."
Best,
Oliver

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.

This is a good idea. They are using OSQA, yes?

Hi there,
I propose to start a Q&A system within Wikimedis. We need a central place for help.
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.
Following bug was filled:
"Install Q&A system at help.en.wikipedia.org"
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29923
Discussion and hopefully creation of the site is more that welcome.
Thanks for your support!
Cheers,
Kozuch
