Re: [COMMUNITY] The path to Ask OpenStack

 

For starters, I love this idea! I've been among my questions here on the
mailing list, but mailing lists aren't the most convenient for new users.
I'm really looking forward to this tagging off.

Second, I'm not sure if you're aware, the links on the very bottom of the
page are all broken, they all link to the ask.openstack.org domain instead
of openstack.org
