[openstack-community] Join the online meeting for moderators of Ask OpenStack
We are holding an online meeting for all the people that use Ask OpenStack.
On Thursday Sept. 5 from 6PM to 7PM Pacific Time on IRC freenode.net #openstack-community
The main intention is to share best practices and in the long term improve the objective of Ask OpenStack:
to provide the best place on Internet for people to find solutions (answers) to common problems (questions) related to OpenStack.
Since anybody can become a moderator with only 100 Karma points this meeting is for every user of Ask OpenStack.
We will go through the existing recommendations on the wiki and do some "live" practice together on existing questions.
Please spread the word about this meeting among your fellows at the local user groups.
Regards, Stef
If you didn't see the blog post yesterday, below is its content. I summed up the results of this first online meeting. Please update the wiki page if I missed something.
We're continuously building together "The best place on the Internet to find answers to common OpenStack problems": our Question&Answers site Ask https://ask.openstack.orgOpenStack https://ask.openstack.org is such place and needs everybody's help.
Ask OpenStack is a collaborative effort, think of it like a wiki where pages are made only of questions and answers. Anybody with more than 100 karma points can fix a question or an answer and anybody can gain karma points by getting votes on answers and/or questions.
We have collected some suggestions to use for those that ask questions and those that answer in our wiki. The sum of it is:
* Titles should be clearly questions https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#Titles_should_be_clearly_questions * Answers should be clear answers https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#Answers_should_be_clear_answers * One URL, One Question, One Answer (no debates) https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#One_URL.2C_One_Question.2C_One_Answer * The evolution of a Question and its Answer https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#The_evolution_of_a_Question_and_its_Answer * Other tools are available (mailing lists, irc, etc) https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#Other_tools_are_available * Maintain language consistency https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators#Maintain_language_consistency
