Hi Paul,
to this list I would like to add that from time to time, some people write to
debian-www@lists.debian.org as instructed by our website's footer, and get
frustrated that their message will stay public and archived until the end of
the Solar system.
ask.debian.net was a good idea, but as of today it looks half broken. If
a replacement engine is looked for, maybe one can have a look at Biostar
(https://github.com/ialbert/biostar-central). It does not have many features,
but perhaps that is the feature.

I am really sorry but I do not have enough time. But if ask.debian.net is
repaired, I would try to visit it more often.
Have a nice day,
Charles
