From 0fe27063cb8dfeadee0428679ce59fb3ca9fd203 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jsdevel Date: Mon, 28 Sep 2015 09:50:26 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Adding gitter badge in preparation of disabling issues. Here are the main reasons we're doing this: * We get lots of issues from users that are of the 'Hey debug this for me' type. * The amount of issues we get prevents us from adequately addressing PRs. * If we solely focused our efforts on PRs, we'd likely get more PRs in and advance the library faster. * Given the volume of issues we receive and the number of open issues we have open, users are less inclined to use in the fear that is is overly buggy. * We have so many open issues it's almost impossible to know which ones are still valid. * Github issues aren't the best mechanism for community support. Something like Google Groups or Gitter would best serve the interests of most issues we receive. --- Readme.md | 15 ++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/Readme.md b/Readme.md index d8bd06bc9..972908454 100644 --- a/Readme.md +++ b/Readme.md @@ -1,4 +1,5 @@ -# Soap [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] +# Soap [![NPM version][npm-image]][npm-url] [![Downloads][downloads-image]][npm-url] [![Build Status][travis-image]][travis-url] [![Gitter chat][gitter-image]][gitter-url] + > A SOAP client and server for node.js.
