Why create this site when a GIS site is quickly approaching beta on stack exchange. I'd imagine most people would use that site over GISQuery.com, and the quality of Q&A sites is directly related to the size of the community.
This is a good question. I think StackOverflow is great for what it is, but I think the success has come from the founders being rooted in the topic at hand.
Now that StackExchange has changed its view and are attempting to start other topics in the same vain, I feel that there is room for someone more invested in the topic to moderate a Q&A type website. I have no fear that the "Web Applications" "Gaming" and "Pro Webmasters" topics are going to work great, but I am interested to see how "Food and Cooking" is going to go.
Also, I am a big proponent of letting the website try and live. The GIS StackExchange committal project has been going on for almost a month and it's only at 81% there. Hopefully my connections in the GIS world can get GISQuery more than 500 people interested in it.

Honest question. Why make this site?
