I think this is a good point. The mailing list is sufficient and fine, but it's probably not optimal for organizing a Q&A-type knowledge base that (1) makes it easy to find definitive and best answers to (often very common) questions, and that (2) can be edited, improved, and evolve over time with different versions of LilyPond, etc. And given how some amount of Q&A is almost essential to learning LilyPond... Anyway, for what it's worth, especially concerning the size restrictions on StackExchange, there is also Shapado, a "stackoverflow-like app written in ruby, mongomapper and mongodb," whose source code is under the GNU Affero General Public License (AGPLv3): Main site: http://shapado.com/ Source code repository: https://gitorious.org/shapado Apparently it allows you to answer by email: "You can use Shapado without leaving your favorite mail client, just subscribe to people or tag and you will receive your question by mail so you can just answer from there." I mention it just for the record as another option, not to suggest that it should be used or not (I don't know that much about it in any case).
