That's true enough, but Stack Exchange have a number of advantages - it's much more polished and high quality, and it will drive traffic to the newly created Q&A site.
If we can gather enough critical mass to create it, I think it's better - we're at 39% after just 5 weeks, a few months and we'll open.

Reddit's already going strong at r/bitcoin, with r/bitmarket being used for trading.

I'm supporting the StackExchange site. There needs to be a well-organised place for Q&A, for old & new users. StackExchange would be ideal.

Reddit or news.arc for threaded comments would be great.

I think that if can reach the critical mass required by Stack Exchange, that would be a better option for various reasons.
If not, any number of alternatives exist (top three are Shapado, OSQA and Questions2Answers, not in any particular order).

Another one would be: http://www.question2answer.org (LAMP)

The Bitcoin Q&A site has moved to the second phase - gathering a core community. Right now it is waiting for enough people to "commit" to it.

A commitment is simply a statement that you'll use the site, ask or answer at least ten questions, and visit it occasionally for the next few months. If you've never used a Stack Exchange site, see the Money site for one example (there are dozens more sites).

So ... if you can either think of Bitcoin related questions, or can supply answers, you're hereby invited to participate. Succeeding to open a Stack Exchange site would be a nice leap for Bitcoin, will bring extra traffic from the Stack Exchange network, and will provide a place to get canonical answers to some core Bitcoin questions. See you there!

P.S. - If a mod cares to make this post sticky for a while, that would be a great help.
