+1 From what I see, the current system provides the option to use a tag other than "easyfix" to mark tickets as such, but we can standardise this and ask everyone to stick to a case insensitive "easyfix" to make it somewhat simpler. > > > == Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix > > > > Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and > > Bugzillas > > > > I believe those categories are not the right categories for > > consumers of the page.

Can we add this to the easyfix page somehow? I think Hubs is to be moved to prod soon, so this may not be needed. We can use Col 3 above to link to the SIG's landing page on Hubs which, as I remember, will have the IRC/ML status in the sidebars or somewhere. > > > = WCIDFF > > > > WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups > > appropriate for the various endpoints.

It could either take folks to the related SIG's landing page on hubs, or to their IRC channel using webchat/matrix/whatever. Even our "Communicating and getting help" page would be a start, although, there's quite a bit of info there and people new to the community may find it confusing https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help (I just noticed that telegram, matrix etc. are not mentioned on this page yet :o ) Ideally, I'd like a "contact a human" link on all our footers. We have ~40 channels and even more mailing lists. There is no shortage of communication methods for everything Fedora related, so would be a bad idea to help folks get to them? > > = Marketing/Promotion > > > > The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a > > great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. > > > > +1. Super helpful for writing even outside of the Fedora community or > for anyone that wants to highlight a call to action to participate. +1 Thinking aloud here: - would an RSS feed of the easyfix page be useful? - a bot that posts a daily update of the easyfix issues to the planet maybe? (and so this post will also go out on the fedobot twitter handle I think?) > > > What do people think? > > > > I'm interested in all the above, but skeptical to whether all pieces are > solvable by CommOps. I'm interested in it too, and can help with some of the bits I'm sure. I don't think -join is as active as I'd like it to be, and this is partly because we haven't reached a critical mass where it becomes self-sustaining yet. So, I'm open to any ways at all that will encourage folks to talk to us (whether new folks or seasoned contributors).
