Matthew,
Here is the problem.. the ask code is not really 'known' by core
infrastructure. It was set up by interested parties who seem to have
gotten busy with other things. Currently we are having a hard enough
time keeping it from barfing its guts up every day and it is becoming
another bittorrent or asterisk server... yes people use it and want
more about it.. but it really isn't possible.
Should this be something that is sunset then? Or at a minimum widely advertised as
needing community effort to keep active?
Honestly, having a fedora-specific stack exchange seems to be of minimal value with a lot
of effort being put in to keep it up. Maybe focusing on an existing solution (like stack
exchange itself), which is broadly indexed by google, would pay off more. We already have
wiki, docs, bugzilla, fedora forums, and mailing lists. None of that is being curated. I
fear we're spreading the knowledge to so many sources that none of them are going to
wind up being valuable.
