Other problems with StackOverflow: - gamification problems: e.g. a race to answer instead of thinking it through, downvoting competing answers - the accepted answer sometimes is incorrect (but sounds good enough to OP) - balance between repeat or vague questions and over-zealous mods blocking - need of better mod vetting (ideally, paid) - question quality Some of these could be helped with tools. For example have a small repro and test answers in a VM. And have small ML helpers to fill in the spaces and link to other questions or official docs. Maybe all answers should be wiki-style (cooperative). Maybe questions could be first in a staging area and meta-evaluated if it's good, dupe, or too vague. And it could also be improved by the community. And some mechanism to avoid Eternal September!
