Do we have activity statistics for the Ask site? Can we determine if non-contributors are using it and actually getting help?
There are 17,264 questions on the site, and only 3,914 are unanswered. I can't speak to the quality of those answers overall, though. A random sampling shows some good and great ansewrs and some horrifically awful ones. Of concern to me, there's not much voting to help indicate which are which.
Not voting much is definitely true for ask.fpo and I think it would be interesting to find out why users don't use vote much (esp. down-voting). Maybe not enough active users? Maybe to high hurdle to up and downvote? ...?
The non-English subsites are a lot less successful, with under 1000 questions total.
That is to be expected, Other languages are less popular and the non-English sites are also much younger (created later).
Web stats show a lot of visitors -- something like 260,000 unique visitors monthly, which is about double what we see for Fedora Magazine, for example.
Maybe worth fixing askbot?
