So I had a look about a week ago at the unanswered question in AskLibO, but I must admit I found it very heavy going. Some of the reasons why are: 1) They need specialist knowledge to give a good answer. 2) Vague questions which need more details to know how to give a good answer. 3) OS details needed for a correct answer (I am using Ubuntu Linux). I will also admit that I do not much like the 'Ask' format. I just want to help people. I'm not interested in Votes, etc. To me it all gets in the way of engaging with the user. Sometimes you need a sequence of questions and answers to get to a good solution. The Ask format isn't really a good way to do that. Forums are better.

While this will bring the # of unanswered questions down, I'd rather have people who ask question also answer other ones :-) People don't make enough use of their votes yet, they are not really familiar with the system yet. What I'd like to avoid is that there will be 10 people answering all the questions... But going though the unanswered ones (preferrably in "oldest first" order) is of course a good idea, but hopefully it will not be the same people doing all the work. ciao Christian -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted

[tdf-discuss] AskLibO blitzes
Would it be a good idea to organize a monthly call for a AskLibO blitz? I think this would solve some of the outstanding unanswered questions queue. We could all agree on maybe a 2-day spree where we could all check in and answer as many questions as possible. The 2-day spree would also allow for a return to those who answered just in case of a need to update and reply to the answer.
