Hello folks,

now that the traffic on https://ask.openstack.org has increased, I think 
it's time we start collecting guidelines for the moderators so we keep 
having a very informative tool, with consistently good questions and 
answers.

I think it helps for example to pay attention to the titles of the 
questions and make them as explicit and clear as possible. The titles 
need to look like questions. Good examples are:

* Where can I find instructions on how to setup OpenStack Grizzly on 
VMware Workstation?
* How to set up metadata service on a flat network?
* Why do I get "No portal found" error while attaching cinder volume to VM?

I have started collecting best practices from Ask Ubuntu, Mozilla and 
Stackoverflow to be published on this page:

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Community/AskModerators

Do you have other examples, guidelines that we can imitate?

thanks
stef
