error in tutorial

[Johan Vos]

Hi Ty,

Since I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, I have a few
questions:

1. "... push changes to the repo..."? -> It would help giving a bit context
instead of talking about "the repo". Since this is the openjfx-dev list,
chances are high you're talking about the JavaFX repository at
https://github.com/openjdk/jfx. In that case, please read the README and
CONTRIBUTING files there for advice on how to propose/make changes (note
that this will probably take longer than 1 minute, as we have strong
quality checks in place). If you talk about a different "repo", please
follow the explicit or implicit rules on that repo(sitory). For example, if
you talk about https://github.com/openjfx/openjfx-docs , please create an
issue and file a PR, and work with the community to get it accepted. (note
that in this case, this should not be discussed on the openjfx-dev list
(note the *dev*)).

2. You refer to informal or formal talks you had, but it is totally unclear
to me who you talked to about what. Frankly, we spent lots of time moving
all code and as much as possible the documentation to github, so we can
easily track discussions. (for JavaFX bugs, we use JBS, so that can be
discussed there) If someone said "it’s the way we’ve always done it”"
please refer to the issue where your request has been made and subsequently
rejected, so I can have a look at the context,

3. Can you write a few words about what the word "Community" means to you?
Many people in the JavaFX Ecosystem spent tons of spare time in making the
JavaFX "Community" a friendly place. I'm interested in your opinion about
that word. To give a few options, does it mean
A: I insult people and companies, use words like "smoking shrooms" and
"stubborn" and I expect everything I think about to be fixed magically
(since I suppose the volunteers have no life apart from doing what I want
them to do)
B: I friendly discuss issues and opportunities with fellow community
members, where I respect other opinions, keep discussions polite and
technical.
C: somewhere between A and B?

- Johan
