That's a good idea. 
I just checked the repository, but it does not exist.

For "Semantic Web for the Working Ontologist" was I thought a very nicely presented intro.
That's is does not exist.

For questions and answers that can have an answer I would like for the moment to 
   https://opendata.stackexchange.com/ <https://opendata.stackexchange.com/>
     with links to the tags that are relevant to our community namely rdf, sparql, linked-data,
semantic-web

  We need to suggest a few other tags perhaps that would be of use. It would be good
to have some tag for publication.

For questions that are open, this mailing list would be good, or a forum that is good
at leaving questions open, in the sense explained by Floridi in "What is a Philosophical
Question?"

There should be a section on academic papers specializing in this, and conferences,
with perhaps a feed that people can subscribe to that collates all of them, so people
know both which conferences to go to, or where the specialists are they could approach
to answer their questions.

Those conferences and workshops could be useful then to attract more students and
teachers to ask and answer questions on stack exchange.
