In mozilla.support.bugzilla, we have recently been getting a large
quantity of (what I see as) low quality requests for help.
I sometimes point people to:
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
but it's very long, and hard to read and digest, particulary if English
is not your native language.
So, I have come up with this:
http://www.gerv.net/hacking/how-to-ask-good-questions/
What do people think of the page?
I am eager to keep it to the most important things, so suggestions for
additions will need good rationale.
And more generally, is it worth starting to point more people to a
resource like this earlier in the process?
