My intention is _NOT_ merging ROS Answers into another existing Q&A site, such as StackOverflow (http://stackoverflow.com/) or Robotics (mentioned in the other thread). I suggest moving our Q&A to StackExchange (http://stackexchange.com/), which is an aggregation of various Q&A sites all sharing the same underlying system (software as far as I understand). So, we would still have our own, ROS-only Q&A site.
