## Discussions
|
||
|
||
Technical discussions SHOULD NOT happen in the xeps repository. If you see a
|
||
discussion evolve into technical (as opposed to editorial) matters, do the
|
||
following:
|
||
|
||
1. Lock the conversation.
|
||
2. Copy the technical discussion parts into an email to standards@. My
|
||
preferred format for this would be something along the lines of:
|
||
|
||
Subject: [insert PR title here, or something more appropriate]
|
||
|
||
There was some discussion on the xeps repository an XEP-1234, which got
|
||
technical. I moved this discussion to standards@ so that the whole
|
||
community is aware of the issue and can participate.

|
||
|
||
Remove clearly editorial discussion and mark the removal with ``[…]``.
|
||
|
||
3. Add the [Needs List Discussion] label to the PR and link the standards@
|
||
thread you just created. Remove other labels (such as [Needs Author]).
|
||
|
||
4. Monitor the thread; when the discussion is resolved, the PR opener will
|
||
usually prepare an update. Unlock the conversation to allow editorial
|
||
discussion to continue, if needed. Remove the [Needs List Discussion] label
|
||
and re-triage the PR as described above.
|
||
|
||
**Note:** The locking is mostly used here as a tool to avoid a race
|
||
condition, not to exclude people from participating. (It would be
|
||
unfortunate if you had to add more comments to your already-sent email.)
|
||
Feel free to unlock at some point during the list discussion when you’re
|
||
sure that all participants have taken note of the move.
