Welcome to Teal Discussions!

👋 Welcome!

At the community's request (#303), we're enabling Discussions in this repo! We hope that you:

• Ask questions you’re wondering about.
• Share ideas.
• Engage with other community members.
• Welcome others and are open-minded. Remember that this is a community we
  build together ❤️

Of course, if you have any compiler or language issues to report, please continue to use the issues page for those.

We can use this topic for general introductions, and a discussion on how the community wants to use this space! Welcome!

maybe there should be a place where we can see what kind of posts are meant to go where?

Q&A is easy, just questions about the language
Show and tell is to show of projects written in teal/help with teal (I guess this replaces https://github.com/teal-language/awesome-teal ?)

But I'm not sure what should go in community and general?

General being discussions about the teal project, I guess?

I think it can feed awesome-teal with material, but it's nice to have the short summary in the awesome repo, and also have the possibility of forum-style discussion about new projects in Show and Tell.

But I'm not sure what should go in community and general?

I did write some one-line descriptions about these topics (which I slightly adapted from the default category list), but they're a bit hidden in the UI — the only place I found where they show up is when you click "New discussion" and then open the "Category..." dropdown:

so, in short, this is what I had in mind initially:

• Community: links to resources, events, meetups, etc.
• General: general talk about Teal

How does that sound?

[lenscas]

ah, I did not see those descriptions, as I was just looking at the sidebar thingy.

Looks good to me

An in any case, it's not a big deal if anyone would misattribute his post. Admin could change category, convert it to issue or back to discussions post.
