GitHub Discussions

[Guyer, Jonathan E. Dr. (Fed)]

We’ve enabled the Discussions feature on GitHub

https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/discussions

We’ll continue to monitor all channels, but encourage using GH Discussions instead of this mailing list.

Going forward:

- [GitHub Issues](https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/issues)

Suitable for bug reports or feature requests

- [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fipy)

Suitable for questions that (probably) have definitive answers (“How do I…?”)

Doesn’t work so well for back-and-forth conversations.

- [GitHub Discussions](https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/discussions)

Suitable for open-ended conversations, troubleshooting, showing off…

If a discussion highlights a bug or feature request, it’s easy for us to turn a Discussion into an Issue.

- [Mailing List](https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/documentation/MAIL.html)

Similar function to GitHub Discussions, but deprecated for now.
We’ll keep the mailing list active, but think Discussions will be a more
satisfying platform.
