Questions and Answers

Getting answers

There are many mutual help areas for SPIP users and they are very active. Every one is advised to refrain from overloading them unnecessarily: other users who are giving freely of their time and experience will be put off by very insistent or off-topic requests.

Before asking any question, consult the documentation, especially the FAQs. A lot of SPIP users contribute to the external contributions site SPIP-CONTRIB: it is a mine of information and solutions for various problems.

Another recommendation: do not multiply help calls unnecessarily by posting the same message in different places (discussion lists, forums, …). It is the best way to gain a bad reputation among the very people who can help you.
