How to join a technical community
|
||||
============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
### Following a few simple steps can ease your transition into a community.

|
||||
Joining a new community can be a daunting task for a myriad of reasons. The angst can be especially strong when joining a new technical community, some of which have a reputation for being acrimonious and tough on new members.
|
||||
|
||||
While it's possible to stumble into a den of iniquity, I think you'll find most technical communities to be fairly reasonable, and following a few simple steps can ease your transition from non-member to member.
|
||||
|
||||
### A good fit
|
||||
|
||||
The process begins well before you actually join a community. The first step is to ensure the community is a good fit for you, and you are a good fit for the community.
|
||||
|
||||
This sounds simple, but every community has a distinct culture, attitude, philosophy, and accepted norms. If you're new to a topic, a community aimed at industry professionals is not an ideal place to start. Similarly, if you are a grizzled expert looking for an answer to an in-depth, extremely complicated problem, a community for beginners is almost certainly not a good fit. Either way, the impedance mismatch will almost certainly lead to frustration on both sides. Similarly, some communities are going to be very business oriented and formal, while others will be extremely lax and laid back. Many are in the middle. Picking a community that suits your personality, or minimally isn't an anathema to you, will help ensure you enjoy participating long term—which leads me to the first step.
|
||||
|
||||
### Lurk around
|
||||
|
||||
Browsing around and participating in the community in a read-only mode initially is a good idea. This doesn't mean you shouldn't immediately create an account or join, just that you need to get a feel for a place (be it virtual or physical) by browsing around a bit. Lurking for a little while will help you acclimate to the community's rules and culture, and you can ascertain whether you think it's a good fit for you.
|
||||
|
||||
### Introduce yourself
|
||||
|
||||
Depending on the venue, the details of what introducing yourself will mean can vary widely. Once again, be sure to do this in a way that is consistent with what is acceptable to the community you're joining.
|
||||
|
||||
Some places may have a dedicated outlet for introductions, while in some communities it may imply filling out your profile with meaningful and relevant information. If the community is a mailing list or IRC channel, a brief introduction included with your initial query may make more sense. This will give the community an idea of who you are, why you'd like to be a part of the community, and will also let them know a little about yourself and your level of technical proficiency.
|
||||
|
||||
### Be respectful
|
||||
|
||||
While what is acceptable will vary largely from community to community, you should always be is respectful. Avoid flame wars and personal attacks, and always try to be constructive. Remember, once you post something on the Internet, it's there forever, and for everyone to see.
|
||||
|
||||
### Questions
|
||||
|
||||
### Asking
|
||||
|
||||
Remember that well-crafted questions receive better answers quicker, as I pointed out in my October column, [The Queue][2].
|
||||
|
||||
### Answering
|
||||
|
||||
Once you know a topic well, forgetting that at some point you didn't know the basics either is all too easy. The "be respectful" mantra applies here just as much when answering a question as it does when asking. A lengthy technically correct answer given in a condescending manner isn't the way you want to introduce yourself to a new community.
|
||||
|
||||
### Doing neither
|
||||
|
||||
Even in a technical community, not all discussion is a question or an answer. In those cases, remember that differing opinions and challenging others' point of view is healthy when done in a respectful and thoughtful way, and without insult or personal attack.
|
||||
|
||||
### Enjoy yourself
|
||||
|
||||
The most important thing about participating in a community long term is to remember to enjoy your time there. Participating in a vibrant community is a great opportunity to learn, grow, challenge yourself, and improve. It's not always easy, but it is worth it.

如何加入技术社区
|
||||
============================================================
|
||||
|
||||
### 参照以下几步可以让你很容易地融入社区
|

|
||||
|
||||
加入一个新的社区在很多情况下可能是一个艰巨的任务。当加入一个新的技术社区时，焦虑感可能特别强烈，尤其是一些社区对新成员的严厉甚至讥讽。
|
||||
|
||||
虽然有可能陷入一个不公正的地方，但是我认为你会发现大多数技术社区是相当合理的，并且以下几个简单的步骤可以缓解从非成员到成员的过渡。
|
||||
|
||||
### 相互适合
|
||||
|
||||
该过程开始于实际加入社区前。第一步是确保社区适合你，同时你也是社区的一个补充。
|
||||
|
||||
这听起来很简单，但每个社区都有不同的文化、态度、理念和公认的规范。如果你是某话题的新成员，面向行业专业人士的社区不是一个理想的起点。同样，如果你是一个寻找深入并且极其复杂问题的答案的专家，一个初学者的社区肯定也不太合适。无论哪种方式，两边的不匹配几乎肯定会导致双方的失望。同样，一些社区将是非常正规并且面向商业的，而另一些社区将非常宽松和悠闲，同时许多社区氛围在二者之间。选择适合你的社区，或最低限度不是你厌恶的社区，将有助于确保你的长期参与。
|
||||
|
||||
### 浏览社区
|
||||
|
||||
最初以浏览和只读模式参与社区是一个好方法。这并不意味着你不应该立即创建一个帐户或加入，只是你需要通过浏览社区得到一个空间（虚拟的或物理的）感觉。潜伏一段时间会帮助你适应社区的规则和文化，以此确定你是否认为这是一个很适合你的平台。
|
||||
|
||||
### 介绍自己
|
||||
|
||||
根据社区的不同，自我介绍的细节将有很大的不同。同样，确保这样做的方式容易被社区接受。
|
||||
|
||||
有些社区可能有一个专门的介绍板块，而在另一些社区，它可能意味着填写你的个人资料等有意义和相关的信息。如果社区是邮件列表或 IRC 频道，你的初始疑问中包含简要介绍可能更有意义。这将让社区了解你是谁，为什么你想成为社区的一部分，并让他们知道一点关于你自己和你的技术水平的信息。
|
||||
|
||||
### 保持尊重
|
||||
|
||||
虽然社区间的接受方式有很大的不同，但你应该永远保持尊重。避免争吵和人身攻击，并始终努力建设社区。记住，你在互联网上发布的东西，它永远存在，并为大家所看到。
|
||||
|
||||
### 问题
|
||||
|
||||
### 提问
|
||||
|
||||
记住，精心设计的问题可以更快地得到更好的答案，正如我在十月专栏[The Queue][2]中指出的。
|
||||
|
||||
### 回答
|
||||
|
||||
一旦遇见了自己很了解的关于基础或非常容易回答的提问时，“尊重”的理念也同样适用，就像提问时一样。一个技术上的冗长并充满优越感的正确答案，并不是介绍自己到一个新的社区的正确方式。
|
||||
|
||||
### 其他讨论
|
||||
|
||||
即使在技术社区，并不是所有的讨论都是关于某个问题或答案。在这种情况下，以尊重和周到的、不带有侮辱和人身攻击的方式，提出不同的意见、挑战他人的观点是健康正确的做法。
|
||||
|
||||
### 享受自己
|
||||
|
||||
长期参加社区最重要的事情是在那里享受自己。参与一个充满活力的社区是一个学习，成长，挑战和提升自我的好机会。很多情况下，这并不容易，但它是值得的。
