In the Topics.

The question is added to the Topic.

> Now contributers, visitors can look at the question and write a draft? 

Yes. you can sum up a whole discussion using the links, comments,
drafts and so on by the other people.

They are only providing Portals, Subjects and Topics, but information
is stored nowhere, so the same discussions will come up on and on.
At the ZDP site, members collect only the finest content, and integrate
it in quality information. This allows for constant peer review.

>, yes, I know, sorry that I again refer to this

No. I think expert-exchange has too much short-term information.

He goes to the Topic.
