Re: [openstack-community] [Ask] Guidelines for answering question on Ask

 

This is great work.  It might be better though to put the moderator rules
on the ask.openstack.org site itself rather than the wiki so that you can
link to it in the header without leaving the 'ask' site.  Stackoverflow
uses the 'faq' as the link in the header for this type of information:

http://stackoverflow.com/faq

Just my two cents.

Cheers,
Adam
