I have changed the "query" labels back to "question". I continue to think we should avoid using the "question" label since I have seen it used for both real questions and cases where more information is needed from the OP.
Here are the "question" issues on all of our repos: * https://github.com/apache/cordova-cli/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-fetch/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media-capture/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar/labels/question * https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/labels/question Over and out, Chris On Tue, Jul 30, 2019 at 9:50 AM Chris Brody <chris.br...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I am now changing the "query" labels back to "question", though under > protest.
