It isn't either-or, and I started following the SO test-site.  In the
short-term, people have already started sharing questions there. In
the medium-term, I hope we end up pointing people to a free and open
Q&A site, if any.  Supporting the development of OSQA will benefit
knowledge-sharing in the world beyond this particular use of it.
