Why would this be needed. drupal.org/forum already provides a Q&A place. Is it good to splinter that effort? – Matt Farina Jun 3 '10 at 15:16

@Matt: There can be synergy between multiple support venues. Answers here can point to existing threads in the forums and vice versa. This provides a broader search engine footprint, too, so hopefully more people will be able to find answers to their questions. Also, the StackExchange platform has features that the Drupal forums do not, in particular, the up/down voting which lets good answers float to the top. And some people will find one UI or the other easier or "friendlier" to use. – Dougal Campbell Jun 3 '10 at 15:24

Not trying to splinter anything - just trying to add an additional resource. Personally, when I first began using Drupal, I found it very difficult (and still sometimes do) to find info on drupal.org/forum. For example, took me a long time to find info like a list of useful contrib modules - ended up finding that more through people's blog posts rather than on drupal.org. Thought this might be an additional resource. – suzecampbell Jun 3 '10 at 15:28

I would try adding /user or /user/login to the end of your site's URL to get to a login page. Ex. mysitename.domain.com/user. If you are able to login, then either you have the Administer Menu available or you could add /admin/settings/site-maintenance to the URL to get your site back online. – Tomandahalf Jun 3 '10 at 18:02

Why would this be off-topic? There could be great answers to this - information on writing an import script, existing import scripts for WordPress etc. – ceejayoz Jun 16 '10 at 12:58
