Hello,
Today when users want to ask a question about JMeter there are many ways:
- Our way:
- User mailing list
- Other ways:
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jmeter
- There is a slack for jmeter
So if we look at our mailing list:
- http://jmeter.apache.org/mail.html
- http://jmeter.apache.org/mail2.html
The left link on website goes to mail.html and there is some long text to
read:
- Do users read it ?
- If we look at its content, it is very defensive:
- *Respect the mailing list type *
- *Join the lists that are appropriate for your discussion.*
-
*Ask smart questions. *
- *Keep your email short and to the point; use a suitable subject
line. *
- *Do your best to ensure that you are not sending HTML or "Stylized"
email to the list.*
- *Please don't send attachments or include large chunks of code*
- *Do not cross post messages. *
-
*Watch where you are sending email. *
- *Isn't it kind of scary for the newbie who wants to ask some question
?*
Shouldn't we just remove mail.html and directly link to mail2.html and
mention guidelines in it ?
