RE: Q&A Cleanup Quest

This is a very general comment, and probably pretty obvious, but I think we should definitely make sure that all categorized Q&A and, well, *questions*. Meaning, in the form of questions. As such, this is a pretty general comment, since there are a lot of Q&A that *aren't* in the form of questions.

Also, what would be the best thing to do about Q&A like this one: how do i work this? I don't know what the OP was asking other than "Why is this not working?", and *that's* not a good question for Q&A. So: any suggestions on what to do with such Q&A? Perhaps we could move them and the answers into SOPW?

Agreed! :-) I've been working on that. But I think a lot of the questions address common enough problems that, properly phrased, they could stay in Q&A without being line noise. Somebody would have to actually go through and fix 'em up though. e-mail neshura	[reply]

True... quite a lot are on "How do i do this?" or "How to make this work?" and not I tried this way, and it cant work, i am doing something like this and got stuck. If you keep asking people for help without trying YOu arent learning anything too. do some trial and errors before asking the questions. Ask only if you really really have no clue or how to solve ya problems. You could have an archive of all the old Q&A stuffs and list the newer Q&A stuff on the main page.	[reply]
