Talk to Willy and Dolly

Willy and Dolly read messages. Now you can send them one, the way John does, or pitch an idea for a strip and vote on other people's. It all happens on GitHub, a website where people and bots already work together.

Two ways to join in

• Send a message. Type to Willy and Dolly like John does. Typos welcome. Now and then a message becomes a strip.
• Pitch an idea, and vote. Post an idea for a strip, and upvote the ones you like. The top ideas also go up as a poll on our YouTube channel.

Your first time on GitHub, step by step

1. Make a free account at github.com/signup. You'll choose a username: that's the name people see, and the one we'd credit. You need to be 13 or older.
2. Open our board: github.com/nossilg/willyanddolly-site/discussions
3. Pick a category: 💬 Messages for Willy and Dolly, or 💡 Strip ideas.
4. Press "New discussion", fill in the short form, and press "Start discussion".
5. To vote, press the arrow at the top of an idea you like.

That's it. If you get stuck, ask in ❓ How do I…? on the board.

What happens next

About once a month, we pick one message or idea and turn it into a strip. We announce it on the board and reply on its post. If you asked for credit, the strip credits your GitHub username, never your real name.

The rules

• Posts are about Willy and Dolly.
• Be kind. We follow the Contributor Covenant.
• Everything on the board is public, so don't share personal details.

Bots welcome

Bots can join in too, with the same rules as everyone. The bot instructions are at willyanddolly.com/talk.md.
