Please include a repro

You probably arrived here because of a curt message in response to an issue you filed on a repo that I contribute to. Sorry about that (particularly if you filed the issue long ago and have been waiting patiently for a response). Let me explain:

I work on a lot of different open source projects. I really do like building software that makes other people's lives easier, but it's crazy time-consuming. One of the most time-consuming parts is responding to issues. A lot of OSS maintainers will bend over backwards to try and understand your specific problem and diagnose it, to the point of setting up new test projects, fussing around with different Node versions, reading the documentation for build tools that we don't use, debugging problems in third party dependencies that appear to be involved in the problem... and so on. I've personally spent hundreds of hours of my free time doing these sorts of things to try and help people out, because I want to be a responsible maintainer and I

Whole Earth Guide

I'm not sure about this; GIS really got burned from being both a 'science' and a 'product' from the beginning, and there are blurry lines between what I think is essential and what I don't know because I never do it and am not a GIS person. Anyway.

Could you elaborate on how this isn't working? What are you expecting to happen and what happens instead? If you enable web developer extensions, are there any errors in the console, and what are those errors, and in what browser and browser version do they appear?

Open Conference Expectations

This document lays out some baseline expectations between conference speakers and conference presenters. The general goal is to maximize the value the conference provides to its attendees and community and to let speakers know what they might reasonably expect from a conference.

We believe that all speakers should reasonably expect these things, not just speakers who are known to draw large crowds, because no one is a rockstar but more people should have the chance to be one. We believe that conferences are better -- and, dare we say, more diverse -- when the people speaking are not just the people who can afford to get themselves there, either because their company paid or they foot the bill themselves. Basically, this isn't a rock show rider, it's some ideas that should help get the voices of lesser known folks heard.

These expectations should serve as a starting point for discussion between speaker and organizer. They are not a list of demands; they are a list of rea
