Partial answer, which I hope to flesh out later (but probably won't have time today):

I hope that people will ask questions here, regardless of whether they've been asked elsewhere, when *someone here cares about the topic*.[^1]  This can be because you have a question, but it can *also* be because you have an *answer* -- you've just wrestled with this yourself, or helped a coworker, or posted a good answer on a forum that you'd like to bring in.  If you have a question, ask it.  If you have an answer to a question we don't yet have, please consider asking it and sharing that answer -- or, on communities that use articles, maybe you can do that instead.  Either way, if you have knowledge you want to share, please do share it here.  We're not all experts, and experts aren't experts in everything, so there is definitely a place for more basic questions.

[^1]: This was the problem with the bulk imports we did early on: we brought in a lot of Q&A that nobody *here* actually cared about, so it wasn't curated or maintained or, often, even claimed.  A question or answer that someone is invested in is a different matter.
