34  Provide Feedback
35  ================
36  Feedback on the usage, functioning and potential dysfunctioning of any and
37  all components of the system is very valuable to the continued development and
38  improvement of Reticulum. But...
39  
40  .. warning::
41    
42    **Think before you speak**. As time has shown, over 80% of the "feedback",
43    "bug reports" and "advice" the Reticulum project has received has been
44    irrelevant noise, stemming from erroneous assumptions, misunderstanding the
45    foundational functionality or philosophy behind the system, or simply
46    the malinformed (but overly opinionated) personal preferences of individual
47    drive-by architects. This wastes the time of everyone involved.
48  
49    The Reticulum project is not a public teahouse for serving the attention
50    needs of random bypassers, but a highly complex system engineered and
51    refined over more than a decade, designed to provide communication and
52    connectivity guarantees in highly adversarial environments.
53  
54    If you want to voice your opinion, it better be well-informed, and we
55    expect you to have a comprehensive and solid foundation for your points
56    of view. Everything else will be ignored.
57  
58  Absolutely no automated analytics, telemetry, error
59  reporting or statistics is collected and reported by Reticulum under any
60  circumstances, so we rely on old-fashioned human feedback.
