This is exactly the kind of thing the ServerFault.com community talked about back in 2009-2010 when it launched-- creating "canonical" questions, etc. I was keen to answer questions about products and concepts that were important to me. I think a lot of other people were, too.
In the beginning there were well-researched and thoughtful questions, and there was a lot of fertile ground to write about basic concepts. Then it became like Stack Overflow-- "Shut up and give me teh c0dez!" kinds of questions. Then it became Not Fun(tm) anymore.

You can see how well it "worked".
