Firstly, I think that I understand the relation between Stack Overflow and Canonical and the roles of each one in the manage of [Ask Ubuntu site][1]. Here are some related questions: - [Does Canonical pay StackExchange to run AskUbuntu?][2] - [Who owns Ask Ubuntu?][3] - [Is Ask Ubuntu “official” Ubuntu?][4] - [Why does AskUbuntu have elevated status in the Terms of Use?][5] In short, the site is made by community and for community, but some of users are indeed Canonical employees, so the site can be considered a kind of user support for a specific product, the Ubuntu's products in the case. No problems with it, but I was thinking about and I haven't figured out any other SE site that works in the same way. There are any other one? Besides, I didn't found any rule to propose a new site in [Area 51][6] that works like a support page for a specific product and I'm curious about it. What I mean is, if Apple contact Stack Overflow in the future to turn [Ask Different][7] in a official support channel, it would be possible? If so, can I propose a SE site in Area 51 for my product and use it as a official support channel with my logo, trademark and specific rules (assuming that this product exists and it is popular for a specific Q&A site created following [the rules of Area 51][8])? There are some rules to deal with it?
