Doc: Things that are not Cucumber problems

[aslakhellesoy]

Summary

People frequently use Cucumber alongside other tools. For various reasons, many end up asking questions about other tools in the Cucumber forums.

By providing a list of these tools, people are more likely to ask in the right place, and contributors can spend time explaining the same things over and over again.

i got the idea from this page: http://gitolite.com/gitolite/gitolite.html#ngp

http://gitolite.com/gitolite/emergencies/#things-that-are-not-gitolite-problems

Expected Behavior

User has a question about Selenium
Finds this page
Asks question in most appropriate place

User has a question about Selenium
Asks in Cucumber forum
Contributor sends short email pointing to this page

Current Behavior

User has a question about Selenium
Asks in Cucumber forum (can't find info suggesting a different forum)
May get a reply, may not, because it takes effort to write

Possible Solution

Have a dedicated page to the unrelated thing, linking to this page.

Context & Motivation

Users get more efficient at troubleshooting. Contributors get fewer irrelevant questions.

@aslakhellesoy I in-place updated your URL to the Gitolite "not gitolite problem" page. The URL is: http://gitolite.com/gitolite/emergencies/#things-that-are-not-gitolite-problems

@aslakhellesoy Should this be in the docs.cucumber.io project? (can an issue be 'moved' or should it be replicated?)

Regarding Selenium, they also use Slack: https://seleniumhq.herokuapp.com/

@aslakhellesoy I do rather like this idea, let's move it to the docs project?
