We are getting a lot of issues created on GitHub to ask questions instead of reporting an issue.
I think it is not clear enough where to get help, from the GitHub page. More and more people are apparently finding Vim from its GitHub page these days. Right now when you create a new issue, a banner pops up saying only "Please review the guidelines for contributing to this repository." The linked guidelines don't really make it clear how to ask for help, they just talk about how to report issues. I assume we have control over that banner's content. What about explicitly adding text to this banner like, "Please only put bug reports in this issue tracker, and use the vim_use mailing list to ask questions." Also, where to get help should be documented in the main README.md file displayed on the project home page, otherwise people will just assume it's the issue tracker. Perhaps add it more explicitly to the contribution guidelines as well. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
