I personally feel that Gitter is great for helping out people who are starting out, but hope it doesn’t become a substitute for developer discussions and the development process.
On github, with issues, there is a documented and organized trail for posterity that helps onboard new developers and such. -viral > On Aug 26, 2016, at 7:45 PM, Chris Rackauckas <[email protected]> wrote: > > The Bio.jl Gitter is part of the BioJulia org.
