Official Google Linux Repositories Help Group Charter
Google Linux Repositories Guide
discussion about Google Linux Repositories. We encourage you to search
for answers, ask questions, and maybe even share your own advice.
To make the most of your experience in the Google Linux Repositories
Help Group, follow these discussion guidelines and tips for using our
forum service:
Discussion Guidelines
1. Keep it safe. Remember, your posts can be read by users around the
world. Don't make the mistake of posting personal information of any
kind, especially your passwords, phone number, or credit card number.
No Google representative will ever ask for this information in a group
post.
2. Keep it clean. These groups are for users of all ages, so do your
part to keep a lid on the foul language and grouchy attitudes.
3. Keep it on-topic. We reserve the right to delete messages that are
intentionally off-topic -- like commercial advertisements or other
promotional material, spamming/excessive multi-posting, chain letters,
and binary (non-text) postings.
4. Be nice to newbies. Many users turn to this group for advice.
Remember to be patient and courteous with all users seeking help,
especially those who are just getting started.
Tips for Using Google Groups
1. Before you post a new question, search or browse for the answer in
the Google Linux Repositories Help archive. There's a fair chance your
question has been asked and answered before.
2. Signatures are generally unnecessary when posting to Groups. As
you'll notice, signatures can become repetitive and make the thread
hard to read. If you need to use a signature, keep it short and sweet.
3. In the same spirit, try to keep the quoting of previous posts to a
minimum. Wading through multiple copies of the same post, in the same
thread, can be exasperating.
4. If you need help using Google Groups, just click on the "Help" link
at the top of any page.
