Hi David, When I see people asking questions that others have asked before (and received answers) I tend to point them to those questions/answers via a tool, so they become aware of the tool, hopefully start using it, and thus check before asking next time around. For Lucene, Solr, etc. I point people to appropriate search results on http://search-lucene.com and for HBase and friends I'd point people to search results or specific ML threads over on http://search-hadoop.com/ . That way a parallel knowledge base doesn't have to exist.
