Ok, I’m certainly not opposed to adding a subcategory to “Swift Users” for this if we think it’s useful. > On Dec 13, 2017, at 3:00 PM, Jonathan Hull via swift-evolution > wrote: > > I would also like a place in the “Using Swift” for working on libraries or > open source projects. I think ask

I would also like a place in the “Using Swift” for working on libraries or open source projects. I think asking for collaborators is fundamentally different than asking technical questions. It would be nice to have support somehow for the idea of working groups for evolution > On Dec 12, 2017

We’ve tried to avoid having too many categories, and the hope is that something like this can be accomplished by using tags. That said, if we find that that does not work well, or that we get enough of these sort of topics, we can easily create a new category for them. > On Dec 12, 2017, at 12

Yes that's what I was suggesting. My view is that different kind of conversations would happen in a "help" vs. "announcements" category. Some people may be interested in being up to date with the more experienced users, announcements of new projects or putting together efforts towards a lib or even

When claiming a staged account, can the username be changed? e.g. Having the same "@username" on GitHub and Swift Forums. Will people with multiple accounts be able to merge them? Names with non-Latin characters are not imported correctly:
