Interacting with the community

Mention @developers and ask for advise

In this task we will learn how we can directly interact with other developers looking for advice about our changes or new ideas to solve a problem. As you already know, the issues page work like a forum but it has also a Twitter feature that allows you to mention people via the following string: @nickname

Everytime you write @nickname Github will send an e-mail to the user, and he will be able to read your questions, suggestions, etc.

Therefore the goal of this task is to interact with other participants of this challenge or developers from the Github community. In order to complete the task, paste the link where you have posted the message with the mention and describe why you have decided to ask that person.
