Not trying to evangelize or get migration, just announcing. I joined
u2-users, because that is where the community is currently. With that
said SO is technically a superior medium for Q/A type stuff -- it is
just new. I imagine it will kill off a large number of questions in
the very near future. This is probably a good thing. I will be
answering questions I can on SO pertaining to this topic. And, I have
retroactively went back and tagged the 10 questions that were asked
with u2 to ease the use of SO, and seed the u2 userbase there.

I have a good deal of faith in SO's rapid growth, the popular perl
forum perlmonks.com is consistently receiving fewer perl-related
questions than SO: granted these are both web mediums.
