Why GitHub?

The GitHub Discussions feature allows OpenSSL users and developers to raise questions about how to use OpenSSL, as well as to discuss OpenSSL generally. This provides an alternative venue for discussion and Q&A to the existing openssl-users mailing list, and provides a better way to manage and triage user questions than creating GitHub Issues.

We encourage users to ask questions using the Q&A category of GitHub Discussions rather than by raising an issue. Questions raised as issues will be converted to discussions.

GitHub Discussions functionality provides both a better way to organize and triage questions raised by the community, but also a more useful and accessible resource to the community seeking answers to questions which have already been answered.

Users are welcome and encouraged to use Discussions both for asking questions and for general discussion. They are also of course also welcome to use the openssl-users mailing list.
