Hi Peter, This is Philippe (@Phisab), usually coworking with Jean-Yves and from time to time having some beers (Chimay) ! Quora is indeed a very interesting approach to help managing the 'quests' for expertise within a community. It is a first step in getting used to the very difficult behavior that is "Asking for advice with the RIGHT question". There is a similar website fro French Speaking people: http://experts-univers.com/ Unfortunately, they are pretty 'restrictive' by calling themselves 'Experts', I like your wording: 'Community Expertise'. This is a shared approach that says it all about the coworkers attitude and also, gratitude.
Being a strong advocate of 'serendipity', let me point you to a crazy idea by a bunch of brilliant young people in Berlin: http://www.aka-aki.com/ (Alles Wirkliche Leben is Begegnung). There is surely something there for the co-workers community? I am thinking of the 'bluetooth'/'wifi' technology used to sense WHO is there (the focus is not WHERE you are!).
