How to use the django-users mailing list properly and doing your homework..

[Cal Leeming [Simplicity Media Ltd]]

Spawned a new thread for this, as the old one was getting rather off topic. KG had created a new wiki page to start putting some ideas into, of which people have been contributing to: https://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/UsingTheMailingList One thing I added into that wiki, was how to do your homework properly. A few hours ago, I came up against a horrible problem with the Python core libs, spent 2-3 hours diagnosing/fixing the problem, then posted my step-by-step breakdown of how I resolved the issue, what I did to track it down, and also put in a feature request to have the problem fixed. http://bugs.python.org/issue12455 This thread might be a good example of "doing homework properly", and giving something back to the community. If anyone has any other examples of "good" threads, maybe we could create a list of "good threads" / "bad threads" so users can see actual examples of what is classed as good/bad.
