I will be happy to set such a site for the Foundation, as soon as
someone gives me the power to do so... the only development task is to
connect existing software (probably OSQA) to Global login system...
Btw, Erik, I actually like acting rather than talking and I am
terribly frustrated from the "nothing" (maybe except Wikidata, but
that is not WMF again) that is currently happening in Wikimedia...
then it happens that if I talk you may think I am ill... which again
actually may partly be true temporarily. Anyways I do not feel like
having to excuse myself for such behavior...
Linking the old thread:
Great! Could you two please revise the current
dormant proposal at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiAnswers
And note that one of the active uses of the site would be a channel
dedicated to Q&A about using the Wikimedia projects and MediaWiki?
I think it is simpler and easier to say "let's start a Q&A site, and
focus on building a help channel there".
As long as the site is up and maintained, you could answer other
questions there as well. The WP:RefDesk has never been an ideal
formal for answering questions or, more importantly, for aggregating
and organizing answers over time so that it develops into a permanent
reference resource.

Hi there,

bug was already filled at

is there someone who can help move on?
It looks like a good idea to me. Do you have any experience running
one of those sites?
As with any new project, a set of people signed up to help administer
it / be initial contributors and editosr would be useful. So I think
it's still valuable to create a page about it on meta as a 'new
project' even though we haven't cleaned up the new project process
there recently.
