What kinds of Question range and detail did you have in mind?
What target audience, e.g., mentor/student, beginner/intermediate/experienced, non-LabVIEW programming background, other categories?
Might be worthwhile to brainstorm the outlines of an FAQ.

By "comprehensive" I meant that it would include vetted answers to all (or at least most) of the repetitive questions that beginners were asking here in CD (and elsewhere).
I think gathering all these oft-asked questions into one place, with short authoritative answers (or links to where to find an answer quickly) would be a huge help.
A beginner to LabVIEW could start their learning journey by at least reading all the questions, so that when they encountered a problem they would know there was an answer.
Back in the day, before WWW, many usenet newsgroups had a FAQ. It allowed a motivated new learner to get kick-started. I realize not everyone learns the same way, but it seems there would be a large target audience for this.
If I had enough LabVIEW expertise I'd be tempted to try to get something started. I don't :-(
