For many of the questions that have been posted, if I do a quick Google search, a relevant Grammar Girl article with a nice, long, in-depth explanation is one of the top results. Is there something we should do about that?
Also, it seems this resource would be helpful as well to many potential questions.
Well, first off, we can't really do anything about Grammar Girl. At least, we shouldn't.
Beyond that... If this site isn't improving on what's already generally available on The Internet, you should probably question its reason to exist.
During the private beta, strive to focus on questions that aren't well-answered elsewhere, or where you can clearly demonstrate both the need and the ability of the folks here to provide something both novel and useful. Long-term, this is somewhat less important, but it's still a good idea to remain aware of what else is out there.
And if nothing else, adding a link to a useful, relevant off-site article when composing an answer to a question can help folks who are learning find other resources to aid them in their quest.
Whoever is asking the question should be doing that Google search first. If one of Grammar Girl's posts is among the first results displayed, and Grammar Girl explains the issue in a very understandable way, then the question probably shouldn't be asked here. We shouldn't be Grammar Girl's middleman.
People in the community shouldn't be asking questions for the sake of asking questions (or, even worse, for an opportunity to earn rep points). The key phrase – highlighted in the FAQ – is "based on actual problems you face." If Grammar Girl can answer a question just fine, and that post is easily found, then the O.P. no longer has a problem.
