[openstack-community] Ask OpenStack - what to do with Orphaned Questions

Hi all,


We are starting to develop a few orphaned questions. That is,
unanswered questions which were impossible to answer - especially
where the poster was asked to provide more information and they did not.

For example,

https://ask.openstack.org/question/287/on-devstack-floating-ip-works-with-one-physical-nic/

https://ask.openstack.org/question/530/exception-when-running-stacksh/
https://ask.openstack.org/question/1650/instances-drop-immediately-essex/
https://ask.openstack.org/question/1735/cant-add-project/
https://ask.openstack.org/question/1359/quantumkeystone-service-randomly-disapears-in-grizzly/


In order to retain the usefulness of Ask for searching and listing
questions (especially enabling people to find unanswered questions to
answer), should we be closing these style of questions after a certain
time period?


Regards,


Tom
