Ever since I joined the ROS community I've felt Answers to be pretty unsuitable for the work.
I guess it all comes down to expectations and overview (which WG has much wider than mine).

I can't stop thinking that a forum would be a lot better though: you can have subforums tailored to the specific argument (eg: building which would cover build systems and package/stack structures; transformations which would cover urdf models, joints, publishers; Communications which would cover the ROS API, topics, services, etc...), tags  wouldn't go away as modern forums have them too, you can moderate a lot more effectively, people can cluster into the subforum they feel more at home with (maybe I'm an expert on building, or cameras), and searching would be a lot more useful as people would be naturally inclined to phrase their topic title according to the subforum argument.

It probably would be some more work to maintain, but I can see a lot more use in such a platform.

Noob question now: what does "make this page a wiki" really means?
What happens to wikied questions?

Best regards
