[aspect-devel] [cse.ucdavis.edu #11352] [geodynamics/aspect] Improve advice on contributing patches (#1856)

[Rene Gassmoeller]

Thanks for forwarding this Lorraine, and thanks for the reply Bill!

This explains my comment here 
(https://github.com/geodynamics/aspect/issues/1861) that only old 
messages on aspect-devel are searchable (likely some cache in google?).

I would appreciate if the whole content would be available, so that 
people can see whether an issue has been discussed before. I recently 
added that into our contribution advice. It would also be good for new 
members to get a sense for how discussions go.

Messages on the mailing list are public already (hosted here: 
http://lists.geodynamics.org/pipermail/aspect-devel/), and so there is 
not really a change in privacy whether google is able to index the 
discussion or not (it will only show up in very specialized searches 
anyway). Still if anyone on this list has concerns, feel free to mention 
that, and lets discuss.

Let us wait with the decision for a week or so, to hear other opinions.

Best,

Rene
