I vote against this.
One thing that always bothered me on OSM is that for every new section
of the OSM I had to open new account. That is ridiculous. It there were
not other reasons I liked OSM I would go away just for that.
I do not think that if user needs help he has to open new account
This move makes some sense to me. There is a degree of cross-over between
StackExchange sites as user profiles and badges can show all StackExchange
sites that a user posts on. So this might well bring in curious new users,
or just help to raise our profile a bit.
However I'm not convinced that

Yes, let's take our existing, fully-working and independent system - and more

You don't. Honest. We just have two logins: the main login, and the wiki.
trac.osm.org, help.osm.org, and forum.osm.org all use the main login.
cheers
I agree with Robert completely. Also, running our own OSQA Help site gives us
the flexibility to customize it to the special needs of OSM, even if that means
modifying source code. That includes integration with OSM sites like the map,
the wiki, bug tracking, etc.

It shouldn't require a move of all of the help.osm.org users to SE to
use SE as an effective recruiting tool. Could a few informed members
field some OSM-related questions at SE, and redirect the askers to
help? or event relay questions from Se to help for a community
response?

I don't think this is a good idea if it means that OSM users need to
register another account to participate in help.osm.org. The integration
