Do you like StackOverflow? would you like a WikiOverflow?

Hi,

MediaWiki has a great support system and a simplistic forum. But newcomers and mid-termers alike would have lots of similar questions about the system, installation issues, or other questions that could have multiple answers.

We all know the forum concept, but StackOverflow (and its buddies on StackExchange) have started a new system where questions can be asked, found, answered and sorted very effectively, even better than Yahoo Answers. The results are fast and accurate. Great users get reputation, and hence more rights (like, eventually, moderation privileges). The system has really been a success and with a little bit of YOUR help, we could have a StackExchange dedicated to Wiki and MediaWiki questions!

Thank you for supporting this venture!

Yet another support venue to keep an eye on? No thanks, I won't be joining.

Having read your linked proposal, it looks like this has a much wider scope than just MediaWiki, so more power to you.

I notice that "Wikipedia and Wiki" proposed site has been deleted from stackexchange.

I also notice that there's a "webapps.stackexchange.com" which is seeing some use of a "mediawiki" tag.

Hurray for yet another support venue! :-)
