Where should async communication between participants and mentors+organizers happen? #69

I think the two most sensible options would be
With alternatively also a tag that is date specific like osws_july_2022 to complement either option. I don't think we should use a date specific category. I can't commit to answering or tagging (neither here nor on discourse though) until late July. So you and @cluhmann should be the ones to decide. That being said, discourse has the nice feature of allowing you to subscribe to both tags or categories. You can subscribe to the tag/subcategory we create for this and receive mails when a question is asked there (and not for all the other questions). That way you don't need to log in to discourse or have someone tag you to be notified of questions related to the sprint. |
Ok, I'll let @cluhmann set that up. Truth is, most people don't really read stuff very carefully and will post wherever they hear about the event. So, we'll still get questions all over the place. But, that's to be expected, and ok. |
I think discourse would be good for this. It would help increase the visibility of the sprint to "non-participants" on discourse and it would get the sprint participants onto discourse. Both good things. I can set up whatever category/tags we need. |
Indeed, I am already painfully well aware of this 😓. I keep that in mind and try to use those admonition boxes, headings, hide useful but not key details in dropdowns... but I also try to write docs thinking about people who will read them carefully (sometimes that is directly future me too, for example with the pymc governance or sphinx-primer website) Let's create a tag then:
Ref: https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-create-a-new-topic-link-with-pre-filled-information/28074 Note: @cluhmann I don't know how to create tags without also creating a new topic, so I haven't created the tag yet. |
Link updated in #87 but keeping the issue open as a reminder to create the tag |
Updated https://discourse.pymc.io/t/data-umbrella-jul-aug-2022-contributing-to-pymc-open-source-working-sessions/9693 to have the tag so closing the issue as tag is now created |
https://pymc-data-umbrella.xyz/en/latest/sprint/faq.html#is-there-a-requirement-to-have-attended-1-of-the-working-session points to the issues on this repo to ask questions. But as I mentioned in #47 (comment) in my opinion it would be best to point them to discourse.
Here is the pro/con list of reasons I came across (didn't sit to think about this intensively though):
Pro discourse:
Against discourse:
Side note: do we want to share the mentor signup on discourse (or a pre mentor signup form to do some vetting) in order to get more mentors for the events?
