Re: Handling questions in the mailing lists

Even for the mailing list, I'd love to have a short set of instructions on how to submit your questions (maybe on http://spark.apache.org/community.html or maybe in the welcome email when you subscribe). It would be great if someone added that. After all, we have such instructions for

Re: Handling questions in the mailing lists

This is an excellent point. If we do go ahead and feature SO as a way for users to ask questions more prominently, as someone who knows SO very well, would you be willing to help write a short guideline (ideally the shorter the better, which makes it hard) to direct what goes to user@ and what

Re: Handling questions in the mailing lists

Damn, I always thought that mailing list is only for nice and welcoming people and there is nothing to do for me here >:) To be serious though, there are many questions on the users list which would fit just fine on SO but it is not true in general. There are dozens of questions which are to

Using mention-bot to automatically ping potential reviewers

Howdy folks, I wonder if anybody has ever used Facebook's mention-bot in a project: https://github.com/facebook/mention-bot Seems like a useful tool to help address the problem of figuring out who to ping for review. If you've used it, what was your experience? Do you think it would be helpful
