Changing the group setting sgtm, but we should probably expect to need fair bit of moderation/spam. wdyt @athomas ?

athomas commented 1 year ago

I've updated the group. The spam filters are pretty good and with the volume on dart-misc being low I hope this won't be any higher.

itsjustkevin commented 1 year ago

@mit-mit do you know if we have a process for feature requests already?

mit-mit commented 1 year ago

Not a formally written down process, but it's basically just "write up a new issue explaining and motivating the use case".

Thanks, I would like to get this recorded in documentation, I will open a separate issue to track.
