I strongly support this kind of human to human interaction. When arriving in a new project, there is a lot things to know that is not properly described in a proper document, set of general rules, etc. Things like how to handle this error situation, or weird error message from the compiler. I don't want to annoy the mailing list with obvious error message, trivial situations.
I think we can learn a lot from well organised documentation, but talking to someone who already know is extremely valuable. ----- Gaetan 2013/11/26 David Rajchenbach-Teller <[email protected]> > It would be great if these bugs could be indexed by Bugsahoy: > http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/ > This is the search system we use in Mozilla to lead contributors towards > mentored tasks, so that would only make sense. > > Cheers, > David > > On 11/26/13 9:58 AM, Corey Richardson wrote: > > Hey fellow Rusties, > > > > We have a fair number of new contributors, and my devious mind wonders > > how we can get more.
