      3. Don’t expect your feelings to be a priority in a discussion about X issue. Oftentimes people get off onto the tone argument because their feelings are hurt by the way a message was delivered. If you stand on someone’s foot and they tell you to get off? The correct response is not “Ask nicely” when you were in the wrong in the first place.

      Et une façon de gérer les listes, « discussions » ou « issues », de la même manière que du code. Grumpf, sur Github qui sert à tout maintenant …

      Use GitHub as a mailing list

      GitHub has worked well for us in planning meetups and answering questions. We’ve avoided tradtional mailing lists, because of spam, and general lack of moderation. With GitHub, discussions tend to stay on topic, we can close, and reference issues. We’ve found that creating an account, setting up notices, is just as annoying as a traditional mailing list. We also don’t get email on the first of the month.
