Dear Tony, thanks for your mail and the insight into your users world. Am 06.12.2023 12:01 schrieb Tony Hamilton:
In response to a bug report I submitted (concerning BIT repeatedly snap shotting an unchanged file) I received an email from Christian
In technical terms that Email was a notifier you got from Microsoft GitHub and not from me. I answered directly on the website of GitHub using the on-website message form (in the Issue section).
But now I am in deeper trouble: the expression "...use the formatting options of Microsoft GitHub using code blocks." uses well-formed, grammatically correct, English but its meaning is completely beyond me.
Maybe this GitHub docu will be a good introduction. https://docs.github.com/de/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-wit...
other form of communication should I use to provide the requested information - this mailing list? But how would I be sure that the information goes to the person requesting it?
You are on the right track. The Issues section on GitHub is about bug reports and feature requests. The mailing list is about discussing everything else and asking questions.
But it is somewhat unfair - I do read everything, when I am aware that it is available, but I do not always fully understand everything I am asked to do. The world of technology has moved on a bit from when I retired almost 30 years ago.
My apologize. No I am "in the picture". Kind Christian
