Sep 29, 2010 at 17:11 comment added Rarst @Jan Fabry for the record your questions are quite challenging, or at least fall into areas I rarely intersect with. :) On lack of answers to hard questions overall - if you look at non-generic unanswered tags it is topped by custom-post-types (which is wicked half-baked stuff it will take couple WP versions to beat in shape) and plugin-recommendation (often primitive boring questions plus power users in WP often have cold attitude towards plugins).

Sep 29, 2010 at 9:00 comment added MikeSchinkel Mod @Jan Fabry - The site's been up 2 months; SO has been up 3 years (I think.) Give it some time. (Can you give me an example of questions where you feel you could have gotten better answers but haven't?)
Sep 29, 2010 at 7:50 comment added Jan Fabry @Mike: Not enough traffic could be a reason, but not getting high-quality answers to advanced questions could be more important. I sometimes feel that I have to time my question so that it's visible when the top ten contributers are awake, otherwise I've missed my chance. A good thing that sorich87, Rarst and hakre appear to be in similar timezones, otherwise nobody would see them (or are my questions too bad or too difficult?). If the quality of the site depends on ten contributers, that doesn't feel enough to me.
Sep 28, 2010 at 23:06 comment added MikeSchinkel Mod @Jan Fabry: Are you saying there is some change that they will close this site because there's "not enough traffic?"
Sep 28, 2010 at 23:04 comment added MikeSchinkel Mod @Jan Fabry: That mixed bag is exactly why I spent very little time on StackOverflow. If there were separate SE sites for jQuery, MySQL, Apache and PHP I'd spent time on each of them but as a merged site I have absolutely no interest in answering questions there; I only use it SO when I google and find an answer. JMTCW.
Sep 28, 2010 at 15:22 comment added Jan Fabry @Arlen: Indeed, if this would be an official site, recognized by WordPress.org, it should stay focused. But do you still think this will happen?
Sep 28, 2010 at 14:01 comment added Arlen Beiler ...Although it could also be detrimental. If this is going to be an official support forum, it had better be focused, in my opinion.
