Rename repository to eg. jekyll-help

[mscharley]

People who are watching via emails get a tag in the subject line of [help] where the repository name is. This isn't terribly helpful, renaming the repo while it's still in it's infancy could help people out a lot long-term.

👍 Good idea!

Ahh, good observation. Guess that forces our hand?

[parkr]

Do you think many people are subscribed to more than one help repo? I really like the cleanliness of the URL. @benbalter is there a way to change this on the user's end, like get NWO (e.g. [jekyll/help]) in the subject line?

[mscharley]

@parkr You're probably right in that there's not many other */help repos, however you've also advocated people forking the repo to share code. If I were to fork jekyll/help I would create mscharley/help by default. Somewhat less desirable and far less useful.

[troyswanson]

Coming from GitHub, a simple [help] doesn't really provide enough context. I agree that it's clean, but we shouldn't expect users to modify settings in order for them to know that it's Jekyll they're getting help with.

☝️ what @troyswanson said.

Ideally, we want people to see how well Jekyll Help works and do the same with their projects, so in a perfect world, we’d have a “namespacing” issue, as Jekyll Help shoots to stardom. :)

I do love the cleanliness of the URL. I don't feel like filtering on a subject of '[help]' when GitHub provides proper List-Id headers for it's emails is a valid reason to change the repo. That said, plenty of us don't filter our email at all, so I'd be fine with a repo rename to jekyll-help.

I would love to see it. I wonder since day one here why Github doesn’t put user’s name in the subject line.

[mscharley]

User names are in the From header, not really any need to put it in the
subject line as well.

@mscharley, I mean the user name from the repository owner. It’s "jekyll" here. Github could add it as namespace:

Re: [jekyll/help] Rename repository to eg. jekyll-help (#17)

But now I see, the To-field is already namespaced: jekyll/help <help@noreply.github.com>. So you can already identify the sender.

[mscharley]

Except that email apps rarely show the to field in listings, it was clearly
to me, it's in my inbox.

What do we want to do here? I vote for changing it. Either way, we should decide something. 😄

[albertogg]

I vote for changing it too.

[parkr]

It makes me sad to see the redundancy, but it's done. Hopefully this clears up your inboxes!

[troyswanson]

@parkr I agree, dude. It's better now, though. Thanks.
