    3 A big part of our philosophy is mutual aid and community building. That's why the ticket tracking system is open to the public - to create a space so that one members problems can help another member. In addition, we would like to encourage members to help other members.

    5 However, this ticket tracking system can be very daunting! There are a wide variety of issues, many of which are at a very high technical level. Sorting through the tickets to find one that you might be able to help with can be very overwhelming.
     5To help you help other members - we've written a few guidelines:
     6
     7 * Before beginning to answer a question, scroll to the bottom and click the Accept radio button (and, of course, be sure nobody has already accepted the ticket).
     8 * Post comments as you go. Even if you can't figure out how to solve the problem, posting what you've done can be tremendously helpful.
     9  * If you run a command that gives output - copy the entire command, output of the command, and the final command prompt (to indicate to everyone that the command completed).
     10  * If you do any web searching related to the issue - include any relevant links even if they don't fully explain what is going on - they may trigger ideas for the next person.
     11 * If you have root on a box and you are trouble shooting a server-wide problem, consider running mf-analyze-server - that script will run a series of tests and store the output of those tests for later viewing. Even if you have no idea how to fix the problem, running this command leaves a helpful trail for the next person.
