============================================
Communication Channels for PETSc Development
============================================
GitLab
======
Day-to-day development happens at the `PETSc GitLab repository <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc>`__.
There, you can find the history and development version of the source code,
`see or create issues <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/issues>`__,
`see or create merge requests <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/merge_requests>`__,
and more. Also see :doc:`integration`.
Mailing Lists
=============
Please consider joining the `mailing lists <https://www.mcs.anl.gov/petsc/miscellaneous/mailing-lists.html>`__.
Comments and questions regarding PETSc design and development should go to petsc-dev@mcs.anl.gov.
Configuration issues (with ``make.log`` and ``configure.log`` attached) should be reported to petsc-maint@mcs.anl.gov.
For bugs and other issues, we encourage users to create a `GitLab <https://gitlab.com>`__ account and
`file issues directly <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/issues>`__;
this allows better tracking of long-term bug reports and feature requests.
General questions regarding the use of PETSc can, as usual, go to petsc-users@mcs.anl.gov (public)
or petsc-maint@mcs.anl.gov (private, can handle large attachments).
Responding to User Requests and Questions
-----------------------------------------
PETSc users communicate to the PETSc team via the mailing lists
petsc-maint@mcs.anl.gov and petsc-users@mcs.anl.gov. When responding there,
please follow these guidelines:
* Be polite and behave according to the `Code of Conduct <https://gitlab.com/petsc/petsc/-/blob/master/CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md>`_.
* Address the person by name (when you can determine a name).
* Apologize for the problem when it is appropriate.
* Thank the person for their patience if it is more than six hours since the report came in.
* If the person drops "petsc-maint" or "petsc-users" from the reply list, add it back.
* Don’t ask too many questions or give too many suggestions in the same email. The user often responds only to the first of them or becomes confused.
