General discussion and documentation on community practices
The IPFS community is growing, and already has many resources. We ought to maintain them, build more, and improve all the things. This repository is for meta, non-code discussions (in the issues) and for documents used by multiple repositories, such as the various Contributing guidelines.
NOTE: If you're interested in discussing code, jumping on our community calls, or talking to developers about our overall project management, go to ipfs/pm. We announce our weekly calls in the ipfs/pm issues. You can also open issues in specific repositories (like go-ipfs), and come talk to us on IRC at #ipfs on freenode.

-
