I think it may take a bit of elbow grease to get all of the mailing lists sorted out. for instance, the website mentions user@ and dev@. There's at least 2 more public mailing lists
commits@, where all of the github emails go out -> https://lists.apache.org/list.html?comm...@ariatosca.apache.org issues@, where all of the jira emails go out -> https://lists.apache.org/list.html?iss...@ariatosca.apache.org Its fine to have discussions on github, jira since those messages are sent to lists that are archived. The main concerns I'm raising around problems you're facing or development level discussions. Those shouldn't happen on slack first, they need to be brought up on list. There's a few reasons Apache prefers this: - Asynchronous communication is preferred, to allow people across multiple timezones to weigh in. - There may be missing docs as well, and its a subtle note that we need to get them documented more (for instance, the recent website issues remind me that we need to document somewhere that our website is built in Jenkins using the git-websites label and needs to point to a repo with write access).
