I’m trying to avoid filing bugs over things that could be stale documentation

list.

Which isn’t good, but given that this is an open source project with many 
different users, contributors, team members, etc living in time zones all over 
the world it happens occasionally that mails remain unanswered.

I generally don't reply to questions where I don’t know an answer or don’t have 
an idea. Your LDAP question is one of them, I don’t like LDAP that much, and 
won’t have fun looking into your problem. I’m also reading and replying only 
occasionally to the lists, I prefer http://www.monitoring-portal.org over mails 
or IRC.

Other reasons are mostly the lack of details your questions provide. Imagine 
what the reader would need to

1) fully understand your problem
2) reproduce your problem
3) think of a solution

No one sits in front of your screen or has access to your shell.


Is there some other mechanism for getting engagement on what are either bugs in 
the latest version, or problems with the documentation?

No. But if you believe it is a bug, open one. But keep in mind - if you’re not 
providing details, or any feedback upon questions, it might get closed/rejected.

I liked what I saw with Icinga, and in most senses we are very happy with our 
first implementation — but there are certain bugs that are showstoppers, and 
nobody is responding to our inquiries here.


Imho you should be happy if someone answers after a long time, not only days or 
1 week. Further you shouldn’t see it as “inquiry channel”. It’s a community 
channel where users and developers help each other. No guarantee for solutions 
or answers.

When developers are busy with other stuff, answers may last - either here or on 
other channels. Same goes for anyone else. If you insist on answers in a 
reasonable amount of time, there’s still the possibility to ask a professional 
partner and getting enterprise level support.
