My thought is that some people might volunteer, but it's unlikely anyone would be able to follow through effectively. There are a couple of reasons. One is that most of us can't predict our workload a week ahead (best laid plans 'n all that). The other is that questions may be in an area the volunteer of the week doesn't have much knowledge or experience in.

The informal system we have now--where whoever has the time and inclination responds at will--seems preferable.
