This is good advice, and understanding this is the key to interacting with 'hacker' types. A good document to read or link from your project's "Contact" section is this FAQ on asking smart questions: http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html It might not be quite right for your project but for many projects I've been part of it's pretty spot-on, at least as a starting point to avoid the worst of the 'bad' questions. Our IRC bot had a command for linking this to people, haha O:). Related: http://bash.org/?152037 http://bash.org/?152037
