Gitter chat room guidelines

Open zanderle opened this issue 10 years ago • 3 comments

I've been noticing that lately a lot of questions go by unanswered in Gitter. I think by adding some structure/guidelines to the chat room, we could improve this greatly. Not rules, since we don't want to make it difficult to ask questions, just some guidelines for people who are looking for help. Things like "make sure you state your question clearly", "tell us, if you've tried something and it hasn't work" and so on.

This way, it would be much easier to answer all the questions, and people would receive much better help.

We've noticed that Gitter is not that active anymore, too.

Your ideas are great and we will talk about them during our next hangout :). I think the main problem is to find a good place for these "advices/tips" for people who asks questions on Gitter.

Great! :)

Yeah, maybe Gitter should look into adding a feature like that…

PS loved your talk and illustrations yesterday! :)

Because of its age I'm leaning to closing this issue. Thoughts?
