Krzysztof, the problem with SO is that it tends to not upvote / accept answers that are not on SO. So however great your article on stw.castleproject.org will be, if someone comes along giving an adequate answer to the SO question inside SO it tends to get voted up and accepted instead of leaving the link. Sure we could just go ahead and copy our docs to the SO questions though..
