I think I said so before. It wouldn't fix the problem of our community being spread over many places, but at least I'd hope that it would be easier to find answers to previously asked questions. On the other hand, I'm uncertain how many users would be too shy to use stackexchange but fine to use a QGIS Q&A. Judging from my experience on stackexchange, there are a lot of beginners questions coming in all the time. The phrase in FAQ about "welcoming people who use GIS professionally" has also been changed to remove "professionally". It wasn't meant to be interpreted in a way to discourage people who are new to GIS.
Best wishes, Anita
