How To Ask Questions: Difference between revisions

As always, one key component of any OS project should be an off-site source control repository; in addition to the advantages regarding code retention and backup, it allows responders to view the code in question without having to either wade through a large code post, or have to ask for the code to be posted over and over again. If you have such a repository (and you should), be certain to include a link to it, with the information on the location of the code section you are having trouble with. This will allow the forum-goers to see the latest version of the code, and refer to it directly. As already stated, you should limit code posts to exactly to part of the code that you are having problems with; if the problem proves to be elsewhere, the repo should permit that to be determined over time.
