I'd actually say both. SO can overwhelm you with results that you have to wade
through, especially if you don't know enough to ask a specific question. Can't
tell you how many times I've googled something and the SO hit only tied to a
related/trending section sharing a key word. A wiki provides a nice central location that
doesn't have this noise, and can make it easier to find what you want.

Hello Olivier,
great to hear that you were able to solve the issue! Response times
are slower here over the holidays...
For the cpe problem, I suggest to use datastreams. It has CPE bundled
within, so it works out-of-the-box so to say. It wasn't so important
in the past, where we used only standard CPEs, as these are also
shipped as part of oscap. But now, as we included support for
containerized environments (using SSG-based cpe:/a:machine and
cpe:/a:container), using default will show lots of stuff not applicable.
And I have checked the patch and merged it, thank you!

Thanks Oliver for sending your notes to the mailing list.... even if you
felt if you were just talking to yourself over the holidays :)
As a community we haven't focused much on developing a good
FAQ/knowledge base/something that archives commonly asked questions.
There's been some talk about potentially using stack overflow for this.
Would that be better than keeping a GitHub wiki page?
IMHO it would, because of the amount of developers that try stack
overflow first.
On the other side, most people are subscribed to the mailing list and
may not actively monitor stack overflow...
