Wow! Thank you for this thoughtful post. Your feedback is extremely valued and I'm excited by your ideas on collaboration. One thing we're working on is creating a way for writers to get feedback/help from the community on their posts before they're published. But I love the idea of creating a place for users to ask for help, would definitely be a natural extension of our "discuss" posts.
Yes. I've been specifically thinking of a good tag could be #helpanewbie which could be a freeform place to ask any random questions you might be going for. As we've mentioned, we are not trying to be Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow itself does a great job of being Stack Overflow, but there is so much structure, protocol, no dupe rules, etc. I think a "free to ask whatever questions regardless of format, fit or dupiness" forum could be a great use of our structure.
What we have built are "primitives", which if applied properly and build on top of, can serve a lot of different use cases.
