Basically, if you have question, a problem with your code or don't understand/can't find something, please ask on the forum, unless you know what the problem is. Ideally have a quick search too, as amongst the 15,000 messages here there are a lot of answers to common questions.
On GitHub, please post actual bugs, with steps to reproduce. For instance:
new A isn't working like Node.js does when I return a value
and not:
Here are 2 bits of code I sent to Espruino. They're not working.
If you've posted to the forum and we find there'a an actual bug, we can stick it on GitHub and link to it.
The reason I don't like asking questions on GitHub is that issues that are answered get closed and are then much harder to search. It leads to people asking the same questions over and over, rather than finding the answer they were after.
I totally agree there's obviously some confusion about what's a bug and what's not - but many of the issues you have filed on GitHub are clearly not bugs and are just you asking questions. The documentation was available most times in a very obvious place, you just hadn't read it - that's not really an 'issue' that we can fix.
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
