tkajinamwondering if we have to have some guidelines for mailing list to set the right expectations for some users07:41
tkajinamI mean, I'm not too sure if we really want to have some users request urgent support and even schedule a session so that people can look into their issue and resolve it for them ASAP07:42
tkajinamI've checked https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/MailingListEtiquette and https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html#mailing-lists but these are about "how to ask" and does not explain "what to ask"07:43
fricklerIMO this isn't ML specific, the same thing keeps happening in the #openstack channel or for bug reports. maybe we can add a note in https://docs.openstack.org/project-team-guide/open-community.html#community-support-channels stating that "best effort" can also mean "not at all" these days08:44
tkajinamfrickler, I agree > isn't ML specific. Adding a guideline there makes sense. That doc is linked from https://lists.openstack.org/mailman3/lists/openstack-discuss.lists.openstack.org/09:53
tkajinamI know "best effort" is one of the most difficult words, from my backround as a support engineer ;-)09:54
fungifor a general essay on what to ask and how, i still find http://catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html is very on-point, even though it mostly hails from the days of usenet13:00
fungiesr has updated it with references to newer stuff as well13:01
fungiavailable translated into 20 other languages besides english13:03
