The Area 51 site that George set up is actually part of that process.

I'm highly in favour of this proposal.  Many of the most common (and
important) GIS questions are not programming-based, and not on topic for
Stack Overflow.  There is certainly some overlap, but having a dedicated
geospatial answers site would be a boon to many, especially non-geek GIS
users who are easily daunted by Stack Overflow.
