[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Participation Guidelines for Evergreen Communication Channels

[Lori Bowen Ayre]

This message brought to you by the Communications Committee to help you
navigate the world of Evergreen more easily...

Ask *questions of general interest* to the community or to a specific group
on one of the Evergreen mailing lists<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php>
. *If your question is more specific*, like “I’m installing this and I have
a particular error message,” try asking your question on the IRC
channel<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/irc.php>.
Always make a point of reporting back to the mailing lists when you've
gotten answers to your questions off-list.

The IRC channel <http://www.evergreen-ils.org/irc.php> is a synchronous
channel where people are logged in and available for asking questions.
Sometimes the channel is very quiet. Other times it is very busy like when
a *community meeting* is being held. If there’s a community meeting in
progress, please refrain from comments unrelated to the meeting topic at
hand until the meeting is over.

Add *events of general interest to the community* on the Evergreen
calendar<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=calendar:start>,
especially any meetings that are going to use the IRC channel.

*Propose ideas and ask for feedback* on one of the Evergreen mailing
lists<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php>.
Some proposals may ask for feedback by a certain date, and if there’s no
objections, the proposedsolution will move forward.

Use the general mailing list <http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php> to
*announce events* of general interest to the community or to the group that
subscribes to the list. If there’s more of a story consider a blog
posting<http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/>.
Or, you may participate in one of the Evergreen related blogs that are
aggregated at Planet Evergreen <http://planet.evergreen-ils.org/>. Or,
start your own blog!

Use the Evergreen Launchpad <https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen> to
search for and post new *bugs*. Use Launchpad's search feature to see if
the bug you wish to report already exists. If it doesn't, report it!

Post information about *committees and working groups* meeting notes and
other working documents on the
Wiki<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_committees>

Use the Evergreen
Wiki<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php#documentation> to
post *member contributed documentation* of all kinds

Use the Evergreen mailing lists <http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php> to
share *details about a development project* you are pursuing or to provide
updates on a development project in progress.
