pollen-users
This is the official discussion area / mailing-list substitute for Pollen, a book-publishing system written in Racket.
Questions, suggestions, announcements welcome. Your host: Matthew Butterick.
This supersedes the pollenpub
Google Group that was used from June 2015 – August 2019.
To read
No login necessary. All activity happens under the Issues tab.
To post
You need a GitHub account (free; email address needed). Then post a new issue.
After I post a question, when should I use the “close issue” button?
If you got a satisfactory answer, sure — hit the “close issue” button, and then others will know that no further reply is needed. BTW closing an issue doesn’t delete it or prevent further discussion post-closure. The issue can also be reopened if you change your mind.
What kinds of topics can be posted here?
Anything pertaining to using Pollen — questions, suggestions, feature requests, etc.
To receive email notification of responses
If you start a new topic or add a response, you’ll automatically get email notification of subsequent messages posted to that thread.
To receive email notification of new topics as they are created
That is, in the classic mailing-list style. At the top of the screen, use the “Watch” button to change your status to “Watching”.
Does this replace the Pollen source repository?
No. That remains at https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen.
Should I post Pollen bugs here or there?
Probably over there, though I’m not going to be finicky about it.
Why not have all the discussion threads over there?
I prefer to restrict the issues in the Pollen source repository to coding-related tasks.
