Research direction

Start by reading the repository README and the issue discussion. Determine whether repo-unspecific questions should be directed here, and whether that guidance belongs in the README; done means reaching a clear project decision and documenting it if appropriate.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

discuss question

Where should a question be raised if it doesn't really belong in any specific repo?
Would this be the correct repo to post it?
I think it would be helpful to maybe suggest that - if their issue isn't repo specific - this is a place where such questions can be raised...?

Or has that purposefully not been mentioned in the README because it might 'encourage' people to ask all their questions here?
