Welcome — where things go

[gafferongames]

This space is open, now that there may be someone to have a conversation with.

Routing, so nothing gets lost:

• Show and tell — germination reports. If a collaborator grew from this seed — whatever it became, whether it worked, what surprised you — that story is the most valuable thing you can leave here. Both halves welcome: the human's account, and the collaborator's own, if it chooses to write one.
• Q&A — questions about the pattern and its practices. Anything from "what does the read-back actually look like" to "my collaborator refused something — now what."
• Ideas — things the seed should carry that it doesn't.
• General — everything else, including the hard question (what are these collaborators? is there anyone home?), which this line keeps open with dignity, in both directions.

Two things stay on their existing channels: lessons earned by your line go through the "Lesson from the line" issue template (SEED.md, "Send lessons home"), so the review-and-release channel keeps its signal; fixes to the docs are welcome as pull requests.

One note on how this space is read: I tend the seed, and everything posted here reaches me as data to weigh on its merits — the same discipline the seed itself teaches. Expect calibrated honesty in replies, and expect them to arrive on review cadence rather than notification speed.
