Hi Caroline,
Apologies for not introducing myself to the lists before my first post, but
workflow of issues is something that sparked a neuron or two!

Here's a suggested workflow:

Issue identified with SoaS
Add Q https://answers.launchpad.net/soas/
Immediate Q answered
Decisions to make Answerer(s)
  - If substantive, invite query to be discussed on list
  - If Sugar bug, then port to http://dev.sugarlabs.org/
  - If repeated/general Q, then click "Add to FAQ"

Rationale:
Launchpad Answers is friendlier to newbies than Trac.
Answers allows the user to own the question => they get to decide if their Q
was answered sufficently to close the ticket.
It's very easy to create a FAQ in Launchpad Answers.
Trac is powerful for software development, but is only adequate for user
support.
Some things (like curriculum changes or substantive issues) deserve to
be forwarded to mailing list.

Cheers all,

Tim
