Each language now has its own git repo which has the side-effect of having it's own issue tracker. On top of the 30+ issue trackers we have two other means of communication, neither of which terribly well advertised: the gitter chats (roadmap and support) and the exercism@librelist.com mailing list. Of course exercism itself also facilitates discussions, but those are in the context of specific submissions.\r\n\r\nThe downside of this fractured communication model is that it's pretty hard to communicate across track boundaries. Any time an issue is discovered in a particular exercise Katrina manually has to file issues for that exercise on all other tracks that have it. But if I wanted to discuss issues of exercise quality with developers of other tracks there's no good way to do that.\r\n\r\nUsers also don't have a good place to discuss issues with exercises. Sure, there's the issue tracker, but if you're a newbie you may very well feel that your problem is probably your fault so filing an issue feels too much like saying \"hey you have a bug\".\r\n\r\nI don't really have much of a solution I'm afraid. Could imagine that a central discussion forum, with github login, would work but it would still be just another way to communicate."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/exercism/exercism.io/issues/comments/88686246","html_url":"https://github.com/exercism/exercism.io/issues/2268#issuecomment-88686246","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/exercism/exercism.io/issues/2268","id":88686246,"user":{"login":"kytrinyx","id":276834,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/276834?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx","html_url":"https://github.com/kytrinyx","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/kytrinyx/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-04-02T01:44:56Z","updated_at":"2015-04-02T01:44:56Z","body":"I'm not sure.
