Can I use OSQA for both bookmarking and Q & A?

Question

I am looking for an open source solution that will allow a community of users to post news links related to a niche topic as well as do Q&A. It would be sort of like ycombinator's hacker news in its format where you have a tab for News and an Ask tab for Q&A, link here: http://news.ycombinator.com/news.

This is this something I need to get started on quickly and I'm wondering if this can be done easily with OSQA. I am not a developer so I would likely need to get some paid help to get this done. Is this something that can be accomplished with OSQA and if so how do I proceed?

It's possible to create a javascript bookmarklet that would let users submit links and tags to the form. I made a simple one for Drupal 5.x a few years ago that looks like this:

javascript:q=&quot;&quot;+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);location.href='http://example.com/node/add/userlink?edit[url]='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&amp;edit[title]='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&amp;edit[body]='+q;
