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.

forum sort of thing.

Drupal has got its forums, and I am not sure how effective it could be.

You may want to look at the Drupalize.me video (one of the free ones :)) from Do It With Drupal that talks about how they did this as a fantasy site.

Hope this helps.
