Hey @Ikuyadeu , thanks for opening this tab! I'm just starting in this whole github/community development thing; this project is acting like a training, so I'm prone to make some mistakes. The current issues tab is a bit intimidating for newcomers, because it has an implied "criticism" on it. This tab is ideal for asking "neutral" questions.

I recon that it could became a little messy if people start to post issues in the discussion tab and vice-versa. Just to take note, at least, github provides a functionality to transform issues in discussions. You can even create a specific issue label that automatically do this reassign as stated here. The opposite isn't available right now, but it shouldn't be a problem, just create a new issue and reference the discussion (maybe it's even better this way).

I think that, with proper care, this tab could act as a nice Q&A for newcomers, and at the same time clean the issues tab a bit. Thanks again.

I'm a long-time emacs/org-mode user considering what advice regarding IDEs/editors/platforms to give to new data scientist wannabes besides RStudio++ and thinking that this is the best new entrant into the field. I 've spinned it up a few times and its beginning to feel quite nice.
