<p>Sending people to Stackoverflow directly is a good option IMO.
This suggestion was made before. Of course, I would lose my 7700
karma points, but I can stomach it :)<br>

is not necessarily loved by many, it continues <br>
to be used, and there are still people who answer questions.<br>
<br>
Recently, one of its features ceased working. I am talking
about the <br>
"responses" page that lists all responses to questions that I
have <br>
answered or commented on. This makes it very hard to follow up
on such <br>
questions; I don't have a tool to see if somebody anwered my
question or <br>
is the person who asked a question has provided updates.<br>
<br>
Is there anybody who can fix this?<br>
<br>
I know that some people would like to do away with <a
href="http://ask.openstack.org" rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true">ask.openstack.org</a>
<br>
entirely, since the software is bug-ridden and nobody manages
the site. <br>
My personal opinion is that the current situation is worse
than no "ask" <br>
site at all, since people might ask questions, get partial
answers and <br>
no follow-up. This can create a negative view of the OpenStack
community.<br>
<br>
In short, either fix it or remove it. Unfortunately I don't
have the <br>
means to do either.<br>
