+
+Before asking a question, first make an effort to find the answer to your
+question. A lot of questions have been asked and answered before, so please
+spend some time trying to solve the problem on your own (e.g., [search the
+web](http://google.com/), search these web pages, etc.), and show us that you
+did so when you ask your question.
+
+When asking, (1) be details, and (2) demonstrate that you have made an effort,
+e.g., "I am having trouble frobbing the foo. I searched the web and only found
+information regarding how to frob a bar, but that seems unrelated." Provide as
+many relevant details as possible reproducing them as exactly as possible.
+
+Also consider these
+[guidelines](http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html).
