[quote="volkerjaan"]A great advocate text copied from Joomla forum: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?t=700240 * The 'reputation' system encourages activity, and high-quality answers * The wiki-like aspect ensures answers are improved over time, and don't become irrelevant * Tagging of questions helps to organise everything * The system is proactive in determining duplicate questions * The sheer popularity of the system ensures a strong community can grow, and feedback is much more immediate. It's not uncommon for a question to attract really high-quality answers within minutes of being asked. In my experience, this is much, MUCH faster than traditional forums.[/quote]

This particular site, however, specifically says that it's for parents of autistic children - which is a different kettle of fish. <br /> <br />Edit: I see there is a discussion about expanding the scope of the proposal to include adults on the spectrum.
