David, Great idea!
Everyone,
As David outlined, if each person takes a few minutes to update, close, or accept an old question we can lower the number of unanswered questions significantly.
If you don't have any outstanding questions please just take a few minutes to browse the unanswered questions and answer one or two.
Lets see if we can make that much smaller. I'm sure we can get that below 6000. Lets see if we can get below 5000 unanswered questions this week.
One answer from each person in the community will make a big difference.
