Archived thread 584167 from Unanswered Posts Team. Markdown source: Unanswered_Posts_Team/thread_584167_Unanswered_Posts_Day.md
Since we have not been able to get a meeting going in an timely way, we need some way to get the community going on an "unanswered posting spree." What better way than to do that than through a UA Day, especially right after Gutsy is released?
By a UA day, I mean something everyone on Ubuntu Forums can participate in. Sort of like a Hug Day for bugs, but for unanswered topics here.
What day do you all think we should have one? Should it be monthly? Every 2 months? Once per release? You decide.

Good idea! I suggest, every 27th day of every month, this gives a week to get the word out for the first spree.
Awesome idea :D. Every 27th day of each month sounds good :)

This is a good idea!
There is nothing worse than doing a Google or Forum search and finding un-answered posts to a issue you may be having = annoying waste of time !
At the risk of being labelled a party pooper, could these posts be unanswered because...
a) No-one understands the question, or b) No-one knows the answer, or c) The question is plain daft!
well zill, either ask to restate question and/or answer it anyway. 2 is the toughie.
For questions like 2 (no knows the answer), I try to look for solutions, or potential solutions, with google, and redirect the poster to a more informed site.

Leaving the person with a reply is better than nothing at all, even if you cannot provide a direct answer.
I think this is a great idea, and should help get a lot of unanswered questions taken care of. I'd be down for a session once a month :)
count me also :D busy lately but i will be around ;)
27th it is. I'm going to post about it in the Cafe and see if I can get that stickied. :)
Good idea Jacob...I'm in!
Sounds great, I try to answer unanswered posts, mainly in the Gaming forums, Ill try to go on one of these sprees on the 27th ;) Hopefully it oculd become a habbit.
EDIT(ajmorris): Please dont talk like that here.
