Discourse is awesome and it helped us growing community around our open-source software tremendously, thank you!

We would like to improve user’s experience by answering all questions. However, too easy too hard, to too specific questions often remain completely unanswered, because nobody feels well suited to answer it. The result is simply “no answer”.

Is there any best practices how to avoid this situation? For example, is it possible to distinguish comments on the question itself (“I don’t know the answer, but I’m interested in this, too”, “This seems to be a basic question, somebody may answer but if not then look up in the documentation”, etc.) from proper answers?
