At least se maintains that it is not forum and should have strictly
question/answers separation.

The idea is I guess to streamline the discussion and made it very
specific and on topic - so ask.gnome.org would be like large FAQ where
people vote on question and answers. So for example topic on forum
starting with question about Gtk+3 with JS might develop into specific
of project while it is prohibit on se-like sites. On the other hand
forum is kept in chronological order so discussion have natural flow
while se-like sites have semi-independent posts/answers.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification!
