To the contrary, this is actually what interests me most at the moment.

Everyone like? I'm not sure about this. There are a couple of objective 
issues with doing Q&A on the mailing list:

- Subscription. People have to subscribe to it. Many people dislike to 
subscribe to an ML, just to get an answer to a question.
- Search. It's not easy to search for existing questions and answers. If 
you don't want to maintain a local list mail store (and who does apart 
from a few?!), you are left with Nabble. And some find Nabble and its 
search, well, less appealing.
- Relevance. And even if you use Nabble search and get hits, there is 
still a lot of sifting and sorting to do on your side, before you might 
find that none of the search hits are actually relevant to your question.

I guess, if you give SO a chance, looking for answers (also in other 
areas, e.g. Javascript, PHP, Web application frameworks, ...), you will 
find it very useful. You will probably find that both searching existing 
questions, easily spotting relevant answers, voting and accepting 
answers, as well as answering, cross-linking answers and building up an 
easily accessible Q&A knowledge base makes it worthwhile.

Well, the corner would be 
"http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/qooxdoo";, and, yes, it's 
quite empty right now as we've just started :).
