Re: [debian-user] I'm coming on board
Yall,
I am starting to think that the search functionality does not work, so hot.
What should I have searched on? This is also a very good reason to
have a mailing list FAQ and/or a new user mailing list with [debian-new].
We do want to encourage people to use/contribute to debian. ;-)
I would suggest adding to the "Code of conduct"
"Never send your messages in HTML; post on Debian topics in
plain text wrapped within 80 columns. Avoid attachments."
. When I first did send a message to debian-user about 6 months ago,
I never had any response. Months later, I discovered it was likely b/c I did
not wrap @ 80.
Best regards,
Lloyd
