Istimsak, you missed an 's' ;-) Just thought I'd forward it back to the 
list ;-)

I thinks using askubuntu will definitely help with questions and answer 
storage. Great for the community to learn about quality testing.

    I should mention, if we have any askubuntu gurus in the community,
    please speak up and help guide all of us in this endeavor (me
    included!).

        I'd like to propose all of us as a community embrace Askubuntu
        as an outlet for getting help and asking common questions about
        quality and testing. The past couple cycles we've spent ensuring
        our wiki area became more and more of a resource for
        understanding and providing help getting started. However, the
        wiki is not able to be interactive, which is why we have things
        like the mailing list and the irc channel, as well as social
        media, the forums etc.

        Although irc, mailing lists, the forums, etc can be interactive,
        these mediums are not good places to store and retrieve
        information. In addition, we have new and expanding knowledge
        barriers with autopilot tests, autopkg, and the expansion of
        manual testing and cadence weeks. It is my hope that having ask
        ubuntu as an outlet to ask questions and get answers and
        personalized help and feedback in the ever changing quality
        world. The upside is that unlike IRC, mailing lists (to some
        extent), and forums, etc, this feedback is naturally collected,
        sorted, and moderated on ask ubuntu. This should allow the
        questions and answers to complement our documentation and wiki
        pages.

        Now I am by no means an expert at the site, but I started by
        creating a "quality" tag that we can utilize to ask, tag, and
        find posts pertaining to quality. I'll be watching this page,
        and ask ubuntu in general to answer any questions that pop up.

        http://askubuntu.com/questions/tagged/quality

        Feel free to post some questions (and answers!), and give some
        feedback on what you think about using askubuntu. When you post,
        simply tag it quality (http://imgur.com/JDFk0) to make sure it
        shows on the filter tag page for each general browsing by the
        rest of us.

        Ohh, here's some example questions I thought might be useful for
        asking / answering. Note, I've haven't yet asked/answered them
        (yet!), but I would encourage you to feel free to write good
        questions and answers to these and other questions you may have!
        NOTE, you can ask and answer your own question for the purpose
        of distilling information.

        What is . . .
             the qatracker?
             cadence testing?
             smoke testing?
             milestone testing?

        How do I . . .
             test a piece of software that has a 'call for testing' event?
             see a list of testcases available for a package?
             see a list of testcases available for an image?
             test an image of ubuntu?
             participate in cadence or milestone testing?
             contribute a new autopkg testcase for a package?
             contribute a new autopilot testcase for a package?
             contribute a new manual testcase for a package?

        Thanks!

        Nicholas
