The fate of the libraries StackExchange may be instructive. On the one hand, the potential pool of participants in a Koha SE-like is presumably smaller than the folks generally interested in libraries. On the other hand, the SE model may be a better fit for Koha, since the project is a software project, after all, and lends itself better to building up a base of "best practice" answers. Either way, we can't know until we try. Even if we end up not using StackExchange itself and use a self-hosted SE-like instead, I think there is a lot of value in going through the StackExchange proposal process to verify that there is sufficient interest. I'm doing my part to make this experiment useful, and I encourage others to do so as well, even if you have reservations about the particular platform.
