Great! Could you two please revise the current dormant proposal at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiAnswers
And note that one of the active uses of the site would be a channel dedicated to Q&A about using the Wikimedia projects and MediaWiki? I think it is simpler and easier to say "let's start a Q&A site, and focus on building a help channel there". As long as the site is up and maintained, you could answer other questions there as well. The WP:RefDesk has never been an ideal formal for answering questions or, more importantly, for aggregating and organizing answers over time so that it develops into a permanent reference resource.
