The SO system makes moderators out of those with high rep. So there'll be mods as the community grows.
But you're right. The owners will have to make sure that the community gets off to a good start. It's a fine line. Axe too many questions, and you stife growth, as people will leave. But leave up too many dumb questions, and it won't be a useful resource, and people will leave.
hopefully we'll be able to find the best mix for our audience. We launched 4 days ago, and we're happy with the traction we're getting. Of course there are tons of little details to polish, but hey, did you expect something different for a startup? :)
