But there's no reason it can't be here, as well as out there. In fact, it's nice to have it here, for a few reasons. I trust things here more than some random site, since I can see votes and comments from the SO community. If information here is wrong or out of date, someone can fix it by editing. And most of all, information here is presented in a clean, readable way, unlike the top Google hit for many of the questions I want to find answers to.
