I commited to some new proposal which I were interested in, but I seldom got questions on the new SE in beta, and I don't have the knowledge to answer the questions there too.

Is there no other way to fulfill a commitment other than asking and answer more questions? And how much questions and answers should I ask and answer?

    There are several questions here about fulfilling commitments, but few with useful information: this is probably the closest to an official answer I could find.

    This is actually hard: for example, I tend to have very few questions myself, and focus on answers and comments. Also, the Area 51 FAQ doesn’t list how many, for example, questions are needed…

According to Matthew Read's answer in this discussion post, 10 posts must be made in order fulfill commitment:

You just need to make a total of 10 non-CW posts on the site (Questions or Answers).

EDIT: Per my question in another thread, the site also needs to be out of private beta.

As far as I know, the commit is fulfilled when you ask and(/or?) answer 5 (10?) questions. Not sure about exact figures, as you can see.

You also get the commit slot back when (if) the site leaves beta. No idea what happens in case the site gets deleted, but I guess you get it back too.

If you have no questions to ask nor knowledge to answer, it means you likely aren't really helping the site to grow, so it's only fair if your commit isn't considered fulfulled.

    I've seen a post on Meta that mentions 10 questions/answers are required. Per-site meta posts don't count.

  • I've seen it on another post, which I cannot find. Only this questions mentions the 10 post threshold required for the Beta badge.

    I wonder why don't they give a solid figure on this.
