Thank you Robin,
I meanwhile saw that Fritzing can also export Gerber files, so you are not limited to their Fab service, which probably makes it even more interesting for some people.
I think part of the deviation to sites like StackOverflow is that those make the contributor stand out: they get listed with their name (as it appears automatically below their post), they receive points and status upgrades on successful contributions.
And probably most important: they can just start writing (after registration) without any additional permissions - the (copy) editing is done afterwards by the community and the moderators.
The same applies for blog posts (except for the points).
