I know when I brought this up almost exactly a year ago*, people weren't convinced. With the recent site re-org, and planned merge of Ask Fedora, I I'm going to try again to convince you. :)
As I look back at the traffic here from the last year, 95% of it is introductions. I think those could certainly be in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/fun/8 instead — either as individual posts in the #introductions tag, or added to the https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/introduce-yourself/1875/ mega-thread. Or, we could start a new one _specifically_ for Fedora Join. There are also several "what can I do"? posts. It _might_ be useful to have a separate tag (or even Team Workflows category) for that... but as I understand the workflow, that's really supposed to be supported by the Pagure ticket process. And then there's been just a few "here's an easy thing to get involved in" annoucement messages. Honestly, I think these mostly get drowned in the noise of introductions. I like the idea of a "push" of these ideas to potentially interested people, and theoretically that's where mailing lists shine, but I think probably if people's traffic from the list is mostly _other_ things, they're unlikely to find these. I wonder if those announcements would be better served by a revamped "Easyfix" process — there was some conversation about that here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/lets-talk-about-easyfix/32759. There is also the #join tag (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/join), which I intended to be for topics like this one, about the team and process itself. Ideally, all the formal members of the SIG (the sponsors https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/group/fedora-join/, right?) would set that tag as "Watching" so they get notifications. Personally, I think this will be a lot easier for onboarding new people. * https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/DDAWF7CNPEGBN2QONVRRYFQOIKXQNI7G/#H7A6DK4FLF5QTDNFHBGPH6YLZ3HLXAEZ -- Matthew Miller <[email protected]> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ fedora-join mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
