And I was talking to some people about what mistakes we think Ask Fedora and Ask Debian have made, so I thought I'd give you some feedback. You should take it for what it's worth. It's just my opinion, but it's worked for us. I will also be blunt, excuse me if it sounds a bit preachy. - First things first: elect moderators. This is essential if you're going to have any rules at all. The vast majority of closed questions on Ask Ubuntu required moderator intervention at some point. We are quite busy, mostly doing things the community can't do. - Set up a meta site. You're going to need it eventually, and it will encourage a discussion among the community about how this site ought to be run. Without that discussion, you have no idea whether people are happy or not, and you'll miss a great deal of good ideas. - Get rid of the country's flag next to the username. It's a distraction, and there's no reason to have it. Some users *will* have prejudice, the rest won't care. - Be *very* strict about enforcing these rules: - Close questions that are duplicates - " off topic - " not a good fit for the Q&A format (discussions) - " overly broad (including anything starting with "Why..") - " too localised (most of these will be bug reports) And prominently include them in your FAQ. - Encourage (even enforce) titles that are indeed questions, not 'forum topics': "ATI/INTEL Switchable Graphics issue" → "How can I enable switchable graphics?" - Be very strict about tags. Delete as many tags as you can. In particular: - Delete tags that don't make sense if used alone - Delete tags that are superfluous (such as "fedora", "error") - Discourage tags that can be described in terms of other tags (grub2 → grub → boot) You have far too many different tags for the number of questions and users. - Get the full fedora branding. It helps getting new users to stay on the site. - Encourage users to vote (up *and* down). The Q&A format fails without proper peer-review. - Discourage use of signatures and taglines. It's needless clutter, obfuscating the content. Posts are already signed with "user cards". - Discourage (i.e. close) questions about the next, unreleased version of Fedora. They are typically about issues that will be fixed within a week, and they don't help to *build a resource on the internet*, even if they help someone short term. - Who is this site for? Ideally, your site should be for people searching on Google. 95% of readers will never create an account, and every decision should be made with them in mind. If you think I can help you in any way, just send an email. If you think I'm just talking nonsense, send an email anyway. ;-) By the way: It's fantastic to see a Q&A site for Fedora users. And long overdue. Thanks, Stefano. PS: I understand you run Ask Fedora. I'm sending this email directly to you because the feedback form seems to be broken. My apologies if you got three of them. If somehow I've reached the wrong person altogether, please let me know whom I should contact, or simply forward this email to them. Thank you. PPS: I neither represent Canonical nor Stack Exchange.

Media requests from Pune
by Ankur Sinha 22 Nov '11

22 Nov '11

Hello everyone, I was running through the free media tickets to accept my quota for the month when I noticed that there are quite a few that are from Pune. Since we recently had our FUDCon at the COEP, I was wondering if it was possible to set up a contact point there where people could come and get themselves media burnt? It would be more convenient to the requesters, and it would take some load off our shoulders. Please let me know, and I will route the tickets accordingly. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur: "FranciscoD" http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha http://dodoincfedora.wordpress.com/

The stg instance is now updated to the latest version and has the new default theme. http://ask.stg.fedoraproject.org/questions/ If you login and let me know your id, I can make you a admin of that instance and you can play around with CSS etc via the web interface live settings itself.
