GitHub Discussions Guidelines

[samricotta]

Welcome to our project's GitHub Discussions! This space is meant for community members to ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate on our project. Please read and follow these guidelines to ensure a positive and respectful environment for everyone.

General Rules

Be respectful and considerate: Treat everyone with respect and kindness. Remember that we are a diverse community with different backgrounds and perspectives.

Stay on topic: Ensure your discussion is relevant to the project and its goals. Keep the conversation focused and constructive.

Search before posting: Before starting a new discussion, search the existing discussions to see if your question or idea has already been discussed. This helps to avoid duplicate content and makes it easier for everyone to find information.

Choose the appropriate category: When creating a new discussion, select the most suitable category for your topic. This makes it easier for others to find and participate in the discussion.

Use clear and descriptive titles: Write discussion titles that accurately describe your topic and help others understand what the discussion is about. Avoid vague or clickbait titles.

Follow the Code of Conduct: By participating in GitHub Discussions, you agree to abide by our Code of Conduct. Any behaviour that violates the Code of Conduct may result in the removal of your post and/or being banned from participating in the discussions.

Asking Questions

Provide context: When asking a question, include enough context and information for others to understand your issue. Include relevant error messages, logs, code snippets, or steps to reproduce the issue, if applicable.

Be patient: Remember that everyone in the community is a volunteer. It might take some time for someone to respond to your question. Be patient and avoid repeatedly bumping your discussion.

Mark answers as accepted: If someone provides a satisfactory answer to your question, mark their response as the accepted answer. This helps others with the same question find the solution more easily.

Sharing Ideas
Be open to feedback: When sharing an idea, be prepared to receive constructive criticism and feedback from others. Keep an open mind and be willing to discuss different perspectives.

Stay constructive: When providing feedback on someone else's idea, be constructive and respectful. Focus on the idea itself rather than the person sharing it.

Collaborate: Use GitHub Discussions as a platform to collaborate with others and build upon each other's ideas.

Thank you for following these guidelines and contributing to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative environment in our GitHub Discussions!
