Collaborating with maintainers using discussions

About collaboration with maintainers using GitHub Discussions

Los GitHub Discussions son un foro abierto para tener conversaciones entre los mantenedores y la comunidad para un repositorio u organización en GitHub. If you use or contribute to a project, you can start a discussion to make suggestions and engage with maintainers and community members about your plans, questions, ideas, and feedback. For more information, see "About discussions."

Todos los debates deben crearse en una categoría. En el caso de los debates del repositorio, las personas con permisos de mantenedor o administrador en el repositorio definen las categorías de los debates de dicho repositorio. En el caso de los debates de la organización, las personas con permisos de mantenedor o administrador en el repositorio de origen definen las categorías de los debates de dicha organización. Cada categoría tiene un formato: debate abierto, pregunta y respuesta o anucio. Los mantenedores pueden utilizar categorías con el formato de anuncio para compartir información, lanzamientos o eventos. Para mantener a los debates de estas categorías con un enfoque en las actualizaciones importantes, solo las personas con permisos de mantenedor o administrador pueden crear debates, pero cualquiera puede comentar y responder.

Repository administrators and project maintainers can delete a discussion in that repository. Similarly, administrators and maintainers of the source repository for an organization's discussions can delete a discussion in that organization. For more information, see "Managing discussions."

GitHub reconocerá automáticamente a aquellos miembros de la comunidad que contribuyan a los debates de formato pregunta/respuesta con más comentarios marcados como respuesta. These members appear in a list of the most helpful contributors to the project's discussions. As your project grows, you can grant higher access permissions to active members of your community. For more information, see "Granting higher permissions to top contributors"

Community members can upvote discussions and top-level comments inside discussions to communicate with maintainers about ideas that matter to them. Project maintainers can then sort discussions and comments based on upvotes to gain insight into what community members value.

For more information about participation in discussions, see "Participating in a discussion."
