| I'm wondering if it isn't better if people just used StackOverflow and tagged GNUstep-specific questions with "gnustep". We simply don't have the user base that would make a Q&A system useful, and would instead probably linger empty and unused. (You know the sight: three year old forums with a total of 50 posts.)
Mailing lists are also a nice and traditional way of getting attention of GNUstep developers. Even now we have more communication channels and mailing lists than we can use well; discuss-gnustep ends up being the most active one, and it's used for all purposes (development decisions, announcements...), even in cases where other special-purpose mailing lists exist.
Setting up a Q&A system is probably a good way to ensure questions posted there remain unnoticed and unanswered.

Hi,
before implementing something, shouldn't we discuss about it, if
we need it and if it has a chance to be useful for us?

It' really more of a question of installation than
implementation.

OK, But you should
probably post this on the gnustep-discuss list. I'm only one
person and it would have to be someone else who has time to
implement that sort of thing.

I know there are already mailing lists and
IRC, but my favourite system of QA is the one used by stack
overflow, as it is more user friendly and doesn't clutter up my
inbox.
Consider looking into OSQA as an
alternative to the currently available methods.
