I like it, seems very cohesive and simple.
May I ask how do you got people making questions and answer them ? I ask this, because I'm also creating a startup that will need user input in order to grow, so I'm trying to get some tips from others.
-deliberately create some questions that are highly relevant, interesting or controversial so that most visitors of this group cannot resist the temptation to answer.
-whenever there is a change to that question, email visitors so that they will come back and answer or ask more.
- copy most features of StackOverflow
-Some of these visitors may become loyal and then they might bring their friends or at least chat about it.
- repeat the process.
-When you have large enough user base (or question/answer_base), techcrunch or other media might cover you.

my hypothesis:
- choose a select group (eg. HNs,friends,family)
-deliberately create some questions that are highly relevant, interesting or controversial so that most visitors of this group cannot resist the temptation to answer.
-whenever there is a change to that question, email visitors so that they will come back and answer or ask more.
- copy most features of StackOverflow
-Some of these visitors may become loyal and then they might bring their friends or at least chat about it.
- repeat the process.
-When you have large enough user base (or question/answer_base), techcrunch or other media might cover you.
- repeat the process and you go big!
