They are looking for help from people around them and then\nthey would use this app to post a question.\n\nCore developers, volunteers or anyone else can look at the question they are\ninterested in and help the asker in person. It is very important to preserve the\nidea of live personal help as opposed to a text-based answer or a link to\nGoogle. We want people to communicate in person as they are already on devshop\nonsite, otherwise we would just use StackOverflow.\n\n\nQuestions\n---------\n\nEach question has a one-line description of their problem and the question. We\nencourage users to put their real names and their location within the devshop so\nsomeone can find them to answer the question.\n\nApp allows users to login with their GitHub account to have a control over their\nquestion if they want to delete it or to mark as \"answered\". Also the app would\nauto-fill their name from GitHub as well as their user picture.\n\nQuestion can be marked as answered, deleted or edited by the creator or an admin.\n\nApp allows anonymous questions and questions by guests just in case the asker\ndoesn't have a GitHub account or doesn't want to share it.\n\nBanner notification\n-------------------\n\nThere is a small one-line banner notification from devshop organizers on the top\nof app interface. Usually it is about something happening on the event right now.\n\nExamples:\n\n    There is a skeeball competition upstairs! Be sure to post your highest score!\n\nor\n\n    Free flushots are on the second floor!\n\n\nDisplays view\n-------------\n\nOn http://devshopquestions.meteor.com/displays we have a special view to project\non the wall. In this view we emphasize the banner notification, questions and\nthe Twitter feed on #Devshop.\n\nAdmins\n------\n\nAdmins can modify/delete/mark as answered any question. In addition admins can\nflag the question as \"difficult\" to ask for more help from core developers.\n\nAdmins are configured in http://devshopquestions.meteor.com/admin panel and\nadded by their GitHub names.\n\nDeployment\n----------\n\nFor some reason jquery.more plugin works incorrectly when all js code is\nminified and concatenated. Right now, I deploy with `--debug` option.\n\nUpdate: the real story is about CSS minifier. We were hitting some random bug\nwith minification of bootstrap theme and jquery plugin. The minifier update\nlanded on devel which will fix it. Whenever there is a new\ntemplate-engine-preview release with the merge of 0.6.4 or 0.7 - it will be\nfixed.\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeteor%2Fdevshopquestions","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmeteor%2Fdevshopquestions","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmeteor%2Fdevshopquestions/lists"}
