Ask HN: Do you prefer a tracker, mailing list, or chat channel for discussions?

1 pointsby lwhsiaoabout 7 years ago
Public repositories can vary quite widely in how they handle discussions. While most, from my experience, use a tracker (e.g. GitHub Issues) for bugs or features, there doesn&#x27;t seem to be a good consensus for how to handle discussions and general questions [1] [2] [3] [4]. Some orgs use Issues for everything. Others have a mailing list or use Gitter, Slack, or IRC channels. Some refer general questions to Stack Overflow. Others have all of the above.<p>How does your org handle general questions&#x2F;discussions? How did you settle on that decision?<p>--<p>[1] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;#!topic&#x2F;python-ideas&#x2F;uQyz5m1kKvQ<p>[2] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Microsoft&#x2F;vscode&#x2F;issues&#x2F;219<p>[3] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;@methane&#x2F;why-you-must-not-ask-questions-on-github-issues-51d741d83fde<p>[4] https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;sinara-hw&#x2F;sinara&#x2F;issues&#x2F;160
