How To Ask Questions The Smart Way is a Chinese translation of Eric S. Raymond's classic essay on asking technical questions in forums, mailing lists and chat rooms so you get useful answers. It suits anyone who asks for help online, including students, developers and software users. The main text is in Traditional Chinese, and a Simplified Chinese version is also included.

The guide covers where to ask, how to write a clear title and a description others can act on, what to include when reporting a problem, and how to read replies, including the advice to search before asking. It is a single long document with a table of contents and the history of the original version.
