That is very true for certain types of questions, but not others. Obviously, nothing is going to stop people from asking "What does 'Cannot send Session Cache limiters, headers already sent' mean" type of questions. It also won't help people when they have debugging problems.The problem is that most people are too lazy to look up things themselves, so the addition of yet anoter FAQ/Wiki/Forum isn't going to help.
There is already a wealth of information about patterns out there on the web. Some patterns are more well-documented than others, and almost none of them are in PHP (all though that forces you to learn how to read Java). For things like Front Controllers, however, the language difference is crucial.
Not only that, but what all these sites on patterns don't have are discussions made by actual users who had to tackle these problems, and the experiences of other people.
Yes, I still like my idea. But since the proof is in the pudding, I'll try to make a proof of concept page some time.
