Gitter has been working on a content system called Topics. https://gitter.im/gitterHQ/topics. It's still in Beta, but Q&A and structured content is definitely something that - in addition to chat - we think is important.

That's really awesome! Does it run like a mailing list system? One of the #1 pain points in running FOSS projects is creating and managing a mailing list, with archive browsing that doesn't look atrocious.
very interesting, the UI throws me off though, for instance are topics somehow correlated to the channels I have open (i.e. the list on the left)? Can I access Topics from the desktop client?

Looking forward to updates, thanks!
