I would personally much prefer integrating this into the KDE
infrastructure rather than KDE going to Stack Exchange:
http://www.osqa.net/
osqa.net looks good.
There's also an established service (answerhub.com/), which could be
implemented quickly...at a cost. They are kinda cute (maybe deceptive)
with their pricing guidelines, but apparently they are willing to
discuss charitable deals.
There's a comparison between OSQA and AnswerHub at
answerhub.com/answerhub-difference-osqa/
but there would need to be a decision about the importance of features
that are only available from the commercial AnswerHub.
StackExchange is a commercial entity without open source accessbility
to the implementation. Also, you need to comply with what
StackExchange likes in the end of the day.

This is a question that came up on the #krita channel today. Our forums are
awesome, but not the best place for question and answer type of exchanges.
We even see questions appear on yahoo answers!
One proposal was to create a krita.stackexchange.com, like
http://blender.stackexchange.com/. However, this is infra that's outside of
KDE. I don't know of anything equivalent, though!
So, what I wanted to get input on is: would creating a
krita.stackexchange.com be against the manifesto? And if so, is there any
equivalent (in terms of user-friendliness, googleability and
recognizability) that we can use withing KDE's infra structure?
StackExchange seems to conflict with...
"Online services associated with the project are either hosted on KDE
infrastructure or have an action plan that ensures continuity which is
approved by the KDE system administration team"
Hard to see how continuity would be ensured. Perhaps the continuity plan
could be to start on StackExchange, operate there until something could
be established within KDE's infrastructure. As a beginning Krita user, I
would greatly appreciate this kind of resource.
A Q&A capability would be helpful for other KDE technology as well.

For all clarity; this isn't a wiki, and it isn't a forum. It works in a very
different way.
