so it's good to have a central point to go where, for

Here's my perception of what your idea might look like - a working
webforum built on some platform (like Invision Power Board for example)
with moderators selected from existing mods in the community, whose main
mission it is to direct traffic so to speak. A member there asks a
question, that question is either answered directly, or if not done so
in a timely manner, he/she is directed to another forum or wiki for
answers? It's an interesting idea, but would have to be fairly
implemented. What would stop a mod from just redirecting posts to their
home forum/wiki all day?. This is in direct contrast to a standard rule
built into most webforums for anti-spamming. It is generally not allowed
for another forum (or commercial site) to drop links to their website in
another forum if it is an obvious recruitment ploy or tied to commercial
gain. Many forums are very interested in retaining their current
membership and in not adding to the financial gain of others on their dime.
