I did something similar in Drupal a couple of years ago, just playing 
around and getting better with views and panels:

- Create  a node type for questions
- Create another node type for answers
- Answers use node reference CCK and node reference URL to the question
- Voting Up/Down on answers so the community can rate the best answers
- Question nodes are displayed as a panel, with a section underneath for 
answers. Answers are a view of multiple node, filtered by the reference 
NID and sorted desc by votes.

I did a little custom stuff, but not much. You can even go more 
creative, somewhat towards a StackOverflow system, by enabling comments 
on the answer nodes.
