Hi Mikko,
    I had a thought some time ago about the same matter. My fear is that 
questions tagged with "plone" are still too few (ad ex. ~700 plone vs. 
~7k for drupal in their network + 8k in stackoverflow)...with a separate 
network we could loose visibility.

Anyway, looking at the area51 faq (http://area51.stackexchange.com/faq), 
here's how it works:

/How do I start a new site?

If your area of expertise doesn't already have a Stack Exchange site, 
propose it! Stack Exchange sites are free to create and free to use. All 
we ask is that you have an enthusiastic, committed group of expert users 
who check in regularly, asking and answering questions.

The creation of Stack Exchange sites is a democratic, community-driven 
process. That does not mean the majority of Area 51 users have to love 
your site idea. It simply means you have to recruit a community of users 
large enough so that questions get good answers quickly. Reach out to 
other experts to build support for your site; bloggers, enthusiasts, and 
support groups can all benefit from a world-class, canonical collection 
of expert answers to the hardest questions. /


About the tasks you proposed:

/* Someone needs make stackxchange.com Plone theme/

I'd like to do it.
/
* Assign initial admins/

I think this permission should be given to the website team.

/* Migrate plone questions from stackoverflow.com/

I'm not sure this is possible. what about questions that have multiple tags?



I think we could do it...but only by involving the entire plone 
community. If I understood correctly the faqs, numbers are very 
important in the (long) creation process, so IMHO this discussion should 
live in the plone-users ml.


Cheers
-Giacomo
