Enable GitHub Discussions

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Hi, just a suggestion - as someone new to the project, I'm hesitant to create an "Issue" for something where I may just be doing it wrong. It might be advantageous to collect suggestions/ideas/questions from the community through enabling GitHub "Discussions", instead of inviting others to create Issues directly. Then, following a discussion, an Issue can be created that is concise and appropriate.

For example, I'm currently trying to figure out if there is an elegant way to update the LinearAxis.ScaleAnchor property using the fluent C# bindings (trying to get the equivalent of "axis equal" in Matlab for plotting heat maps). I think there needs to be an additional ScaleAnchor parameter in the .WithXAxis and .WithYAxis extension methods, and I'm happy to submit a PR for that, but I probably don't see the bigger picture on design features/roadmap/etc.

I usually encourage people to join the fslab discord server (linked in the readme) for these kind of questions. However, I have been a bit torn on this lately - discord has very low friction, but is hard to search and is not indexed by search engines. However, enabling discussions here adds yet another layer, as we will not close the server in favor of discussions. See also #407 (comment).

I'll enable the Discussion feature and see where things will evolve. Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry I missed the readme suggestion. Shall I post the issue above as a trial balloon for Discussions, or solicit feedback first on the discord server?

sorry I missed the readme suggestion

no worries, I meant that more as a "you can find the link there if you are interested"

I think that would be cool, Ideally under the Q&A section 👍

I'll close this, @dcuccia feel free to open discussions at any time.
