While I would certainly enjoy such a community, I wonder if it fits the Stack Exchange idea. The goal is to find areas with specific questions that have specific answers -- and which can tap into a community of professional practitioners. Perhaps the idea can be refined into something more tactical -- running political organizations perhaps? – Matt Sherman♦ Jun 23 '10 at 4:30

If we select the right sample questions, both on and off topic, we should be able to make this group work. Matt, I agree with you -- we should focus on political organizing, effective lobbying, and the legislative process. We should not worry about philosophical debates -- those are just like C++ vs Java religious wars. So lets vote up practical nuts and bolts questions. – Andrew MacDonald Jun 24 '10 at 6:39

I think that it is useful to address the philosophical debates.I don't think that we should have them however this could a good place to address possible properly worded questions. For example "is vim better than emacs is clearly unanswerable and not a good kind of question for this site. However something like "How can I do emac's feature X in vim" could be useful. Alternately something like "does emacs or vim take more space in memory" is a good answerable question. In conclusion: I think philosophical questions should be allowed but only to the extent that they are answerable. – sixtyfootersdude Jun 24 '10 at 12:12
