Hey dang, I didn't know asknew existed and I've been using it for a while. I kept going to ask. I think it would be helpful if it was a tab on its own next to new on the top bar. I want to engage with other people's projects; I just didn't know where or how.
Similarly we should have one for /active also I think.
or on the top of the /ask page put a description and a link to /asknew to invite people to vote for good questions
