I’m talking about GNU here.

I just can’t seem to figure out on how to use either of them to communicate. IRCs don’t save older messages, but instead logs them. And I guess for the same reason, it is impossible to discuss anything in depth.

Mailing list is really hard to read, as it is nowhere similar to forum or tree-style comments. I can’t figure out what mailing list to message to.

    He’s not wrong though. If IRC and mailing lists fall into the too-hard basket, id hate to think of where GNU-style C code falls. Bottom of the too-hard cliff?

      Yes they are wrong. A contribution may consist of “merely” a bug report. Even just asking questions may indicate that the UX or documentation is lacking.
