All, Jumping to conclusions about people's intents will continue along an unproductive path to improve the documentation experience. Let's try to keep this discussion on topic. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt of being well intentioned, I would appreciate keeping any future discussion on the topic of the documentation search. Here's my thoughts for each of you as we move forward: - Thank you Quantum Mechanic for reporting the issue. - Thank you Ian for your empathy and respect for the community. - Thank you Steven for stressing that we "should" be a welcoming community to new and existing contributors. I just returned from PyCascades where Brett Cannon gave a great talk on open source community: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiWfqMbJ3_8 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiWfqMbJ3_8> Thank you, Carol Willing > > And before you dismiss me (as I expect your initial reaction will be) > both my wife and I are "people who have actually been physically > violated".
