About asking questions

A lot of people are asking question and we encurage you to ask your questions as well. There are some things however we would like to point out to make the whole process as efficient as possible, for people asking and answering questions.

  1. Always state the version of Seaside/Scriptaculous you are using. Also state the platform (Squeak, Cincom Smalltalk, GemStone/S, GNU Smalltalk, Dolphin Smalltalk, ...) you are on.
  2. Provide a minimal file-out with your mail that shows your problem. It is more likely to get your question answered if the problem can be reproduced without having to copy and past code around, register the application, guess missing code to make it work, etc.
  3. Don’t write private mails to Seaside developers, they all have other things to do as well. Write to the mailing-list, unless you have a consulting contract.

In general the following article is a really nice reference on how to ask questions in a mailing-list: How To Ask Questions The Smart Way by ESR.
