FiPyContact¶
In order to discuss FiPy with other users and with the developers, we encourage you to use one of the following modes of communication. We monitor all of these, so there is no need to post to more than one of them.
You may want to read the following resource about asking effective questions: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
If you are having trouble, we are able to offer much more effective help if you provide a minimal reproducible example.
GitHub Discussions¶
https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/discussions
Suitable for open-ended conversations, troubleshooting, showing off…
If a discussion highlights a bug or feature request, it’s easy for us to migrate GitHub Discussions to GitHub Issues.
GitHub Issues¶
https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/issues
Suitable for bug reports, feature requests, and patch submissions.
StackOverflow¶
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/fipy
Suitable for questions that (probably) have definitive answers (“How do I…?”). It doesn’t work so well for back-and-forth conversations, which are better suited to GitHub Discussions. Further, it’s bad at math and they tend to delete answers that link to our existing documentation, meaning that we’d need to expend considerable effort, using an inferior tool, to duplicate things we’ve already written.
Seriously, use GitHub Discussions.
