I just discovered the ask.libreoffice.org website and I am a little bit confused about the decision to implement a Stack Exchange clone instead of creating a website on Stack Exchange.
Why? Because, I think there is a huge advantage on being part of SE network because you are getting traction and additional traffic from other SE power-users which do know how to work on such a platform.
The Stack Exchange platform isn't free for anyone to use for any purpose. You have to create a proposal on http://area51.stackexchange.com/, get supporters, etc.
LibreOffice is made available by volunteers around the globe, backed by a charitable Foundation. Please support our efforts: Your donation helps us to deliver a better product!

Well, there was a lot of discussion about whether to stick with mailing lists, or also have a forum or be part of SE, etc, etc. Now, this is done Let's just hope for the best and contribute to its success if we can.
