Yes, the rules FAQ wikis that have been done in this way are extremely useful. The problem is that this is a lot of work, the wiki must be maintained going forward, and it is not as visible as posting new forum threads. The StackExchange model blends the wiki and forum metaphors (plus voting) into something that just works better for the Q&A format, I think.
Of course, StackExchange doesn't have the BGG's community or database, and those are more valuable than the Q&A technology. Since we have to make do with BGG's model, I very much appreciate the people that devote effort to maintaining FAQ wikis for each game. Sphere's campaign to get people to usefully name their rule questions threads is also very helpful on this front. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BGG Down" group.
