I don’t think we’ll need to use an “ask” prefix. We can restrict tags like hardware or software to the Ask categories. See How should we use tags in the Ask Fedora category? (I’m inclined to leave out “software”, though — it’s almost always software in some way or another, even when it’s hardware…)
And see Ask Fedora merge structure second thoughts… I’m intending for the top-level to have the FAQ and guide posts.
