In the readme I see cyclone, debian, amd64, jammy and cyclone, binary, amd64, jammy, which I think needs to be specified how to install it in both of those different ways + links to them. I colloquially refer to those interchangably, so its not immediately clear there's a semantic difference without further detail |

Binary refers to the binary distributions available here: https://github.com/ros2/ros2/releases/tag/release-iron-beta-20230502, where "debian" refers to the debian packages available via the apt mirror. |

^ I ran into that, so I updated my remark :-) |

At this point, the naming is kind of historical, as that is how we have distinguished for past release. I agree that it is a little ambiguous because debians (or rpms) are also binaries, but naming things is hard. |

Naming things is a little easier if you allow yourself to use more words. My suggestion: #1046 |

I can't assign myself to #722. As per the instructions, I'll add a comment to the issue, instead. In the meantime, if there's a permission that you can grant to me, please do. |

As it turns out, this isn't a permission that we can grant in this case. Commenting is the correct course of action, and one of the maintainers can assign you. |

I could use some attention in #1042 (comment), I think I've uncovered something that needs further investigation. |

I identified root cause and commit to revert to resolve it, but needs an OR person to make the call as to what the action is w.r.t. it #1042 |

Newbies are the most appropriate people to judge the effectiveness of the documentation; if a newbie can demonstrate the new information after reading the doc, then we know that the doc effectively transferred the information into the newbie's brain. Experts already have the information in their brains -- experts can pass the test even if the doc is ineffective. |

Please, i would like to know what the difference between the binary install and Debian install is. This is because, in the installation tutorial, I see that the Debian install is under binary installation (the other option being fat) but they are both listed as different options for setup in the Jazzy test readme |

This is a great question, and one we haven't well clarified. Can I ask you to please restate it on #1545 , which are questions for this year? Then I'll answer over there. |
