[Foundation-l] help.wikimedia.org - Q&A site

[Samuel Klein]

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.
