So first of all, there's nothing wrong with having lots of Drupal resources anywhere on the web. And StackOverflow/StackExchange is one of those. That's fantastic. Go for it.<br><br>Second of all, we need to do a way better job with support on Drupal.org. We need to replace the forums with something that actually works, gets answers, and then present those answers in a prioritized way so you can actually find the decent ones.<br>
<br>Greggles has suggested already brainstorming for work on the second one. It seems like we could incorporate into <a href="http://groups.drupal.org">groups.drupal.org</a> or maybe even have a new <a href="http://support.drupal.org">support.drupal.org</a> that might implement the ideas in this thread.<br>
<br>I just opened <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1047632">http://drupal.org/node/1047632</a>, proposing that we open a <a href="http://support.drupal.org">support.drupal.org</a> for the exact purposes in this thread. If you're willing to work on this (or modify the idea here) please chime in there with your willingness to flesh this out.<br>

</div>There are two problems: the documentation and the forum. About the<br>
documentation, I can see that anyone can edit most pages, except from<br>
a few special pages that rarely change (pages about concepts,<br>
policy...). Thus I don't see any problem about that. And it is not<br>
different from <a href="http://wikipedia.org" target="_blank">wikipedia.org</a>.<br>
<br>
About the forum: there is no "team" on it, neither. The problem is<br>
just that it is hard for searching (in comparison to StackOverflow<br>
when asking a new question).<br>
