I was trying to encourage questions on SO a few years back. I did mergExt support there for that reason. SO is great for building a repository of knowledge, however, it is downright hostile if you don’t ask the question in the right way. One solution for the community is if people that have an interesting problem that is then discussed and resolved here or on the forums could then pose the question on SO and answer it themselves with the correct answer. That way the knowledge is better preserved.
