There is a trend of projects who are moving to Github Issues as a
medium/platform for responding to queries. As Amar mentions earlier in
the thread and Shyam implies - this requires constant (ie. daily)
vigil and attention. If those are in place, it is a practical move.
People who respond on gluster-users do this already. Github issues is a better tool to do this (Again IMHO). It is a bit easier to know what questions are still open to be answered with github. Even after multiple responses on gluster-users mail you won't be sure if it is answered or not, so one has to go through the responses. Where as on github we can close it once answered. So these kinds of things are the reason for asking this.
Shyam,
I started being more active on github because of the user questions. So may be different people take different paths to be more active on github.com/gluster. Some people may not be as active on github even after we wait for a long time just like in gluster-users so may be we should start using it for questions sooner? Thoughts? It will only encourage more developers to be active on github.
