Gerrit emails are slow, because it’s sending one at a time

Behaving oddly. Might be because of API time outs. Gertty is also having reported problems.
Message
Install Guide VS Tutorial
Since the doc-migration, people have been having questions regarding the usage of “Install Tutorial” and “Install Guide” in the OpenStack manuals repository and project specific repos.
The documentation team agrees this should be consistent.
Tutorial’s literal translation is “paper, book, film, or computer program that provide practical information about a specific subject.”
From PTG discussions, a distinction made was installation provides one of many possible ways to install the components.
Consistency is more important than bike shedding over the name.
Industry wise, what’s the trend?
Thread
Garbage Patches for simple typo fixes
Previous thread from 2016 on this
Various contributors are doing many patches that are typo, style changes.
It has been expressed that this can cause CI resource starvation.
TC created the Top 5 help wanted to help contributors know where the community needs the most identified help.
This is a social issue, not a technical issue. Arguing about what is useful and what isn’t is probably not worth the effort here.
Communication and education is probably the best solution here. For repeated offenders, off-list email could be fine to make sure the communication is clear. Communicating this in the new contributor portal and Upstream Institute would be helpful.
