The one thing that is a must, is it needs to be completely intuitive
or new people won't use it.

I was thinking a pose a question search/new box as a primary feature
when you go to the default cookbook page (the search on the aside
isn't quite there).  A simple, what is your question label and text
entry is only thing other than navigation links on the front page.
Type in the title, live-search shows possible results that might match
what they're asking.  If nothing matches, they can still submit their
question without having to retype it.  That kind of forced search
might do well to drop some of the duplicated questions (and effort) as
well as make for a better user experience.

Might want to consider guest submissions too, though that does open up
possibility of spam.
