Contact page, GitHub Discussions vs Google Group #41
Description
We now have a new "Contact" page at https://docs.opendp.org/en/latest/contact/index.html that looks like this:
@raprasad and I discussed briefly if we should go ahead and add the "opendp-community" Google Group to this page. This: https://groups.google.com/a/g.harvard.edu/g/opendp-community
The question I have is how to explain the difference between GitHub Discussions and Google Groups. When should one use one or the other? Does it matter?
For now I wrote, "A great way to get in contact with the OpenDP community is GitHub Discussions."
A simple fix would be mention both, as in, "A great way to get in contact with the OpenDP community is GitHub Discussions or the opendp-community Google Group."
Alternatively, we could try to explain when it's best to post to one or the other.
I should also note the following:
- Once a security email (and process) has been set up in security issue related emails; create and put in docs #6 we should add the address to this Contact page. (For now, the Contact page suggests sending security issues to the "info" address.)
- We don't currently suggest contacting us through GitHub Issues, but we could.
- https://groups.google.com/a/g.harvard.edu/g/opendp-community says, "If you wish to send a private message to the OpenDP Executive Committee, please email opendp@g.harvard.edu instead." We could add this to the Contact page as well.
Thoughts and suggestions are certainly welcome! 😄
