About

  1. Create issues on specific topics to get a conversation going
  2. Comment on existing issues to contribute to that conversation
  3. Email notifications can be configured so updates are sent to your inbox
  4. Creation of group tags is supported
  5. Repo could be public (like it is now) or private (so only members can see it)

Requires

  • Personal GitHub account - Sign Up
  • Some Administration tasks
