This sounds like a great idea to me!

A sister project that might be worth considering is to create a Stack Overflow type question-and-answer website as a companion for the wiki. (1, 2, open source clones.)

Potential benefits:
* Iron out confusing, unclear, or poorly supported points in the wiki as they are brought up as questions.
* This sort of question-and-answer platform could be a good way to hear from a wider variety of perspectives. A natural reaction of a visitor to the wiki might be "where are those who disagree"? If successful, a question-and-answer site could attract dissenters.
* By soliciting input from random Internet users, you might see them correctly find flaws in your arguments or contribute useful insights.
* Save even more time explaining things with your searchable question-and-answer database. (It's likely that the software would encourage users to search for their question before asking it.)
* I suspect this question-and-answer model works so well for reason. Don't be surprised if wiki editors find answering questions enjoyable or addictive.

Potential harms:
* Could hurt scholarly atmosphere.
* Could incentivize users to respond quickly when they should be contemplating carefully instead.

Some other thoughts: wiki talk pages could potentially be eliminated or replaced by questions like "how can we improve the page on so-and-so"? Discussion on AI risk topics could potentially be moved off Less Wrong and onto this site.
