I agree with Florian. Users want a forum, and this has been made very clear by many people. After having been accused of ignoring user needs because we didn't have a real forum, any other solution, at this stage, would be perceived in a negative way. Please remember that users are different from developers. As a user, I find stackexchange simply unacceptable (would really like to know who has had the idea). Users do not want to study the solution. They want to write a question, and get an answer. Simple problem, with a simple answer. Stackexchange makes it complex, in a useless way. I have been on the site for ten minutes, and I haven't been able to understand what I was supposed to do. I am usually considered a power user (sometimes, even a geek, at least in the marketing environment), and I don't see how something like stackexchange can be considered a better alternative to mailing lists and forums.
