I could not read the msg in my client, since it is html only. Here is the original message, if anyone has the same problem:
> Hello, > > > I had a project idea in mind for the Google Summer of Code 2017 that I will > like to put forward in front of the community. > > > Idea description: > > Currently, we have various resources such as ask fedora, wiki, forums, etc. > where a user can go and find resources to their queries. The problem here is > that the resources are scattered along various locations. A user may have to > hop from one location to another to get their queries answered. Another thing > that happens is, sometimes these resources are not updated to the latest > version, and hence sometimes provides the user with some outdated information > associated with their queries. > > > A possible solution can be the implementation of instant answers. The concept > of Instant answers is based along the lines of something which Google and > DuckDuckGo already do. Basically, what happens here is that, an user asks a > question and they are provided with one single answer instead of the multiple > answers written in respect to that question (this is what happens in forums, > there are multiple options associated with a single question). Which answer > is displayed to the user, can be decided by the process of community members > voting on the provided answers (The highest voted answer will be displayed as > soon as it reaches a particular threshold of positive votes). > > The initial knowledge base for the prescribed platform can be sourced from > the existing locations such as AskFedora, Wikis, etc. Further, over the > course of time, the knowledge base will expand as the users ask different > questions and the community members writes answers for the same and vote over > the existing one. > > > Some of the advantages associated with the project can be summed up as: > > - A simplified answer solution which answers user queries without making them > hop to different locations > > - A single location through which the users can find answers to their queries > > - A possible up-to-date repository of answers associated with different > project versions and release versions > > - A vote based system to involve the community members to verify the answers > being provided by the other community members > > > Some of the future plans associated with such a system can be: > > - Integration into the desktop environments such that the user doesn't have > to fire up any other application to ask their queries > > - A Fedora tagger like platform which can be used by the community to answer > the queries and vote over the existing answers. > > > I will like to know the thoughts of the community over this proposal as a > project for GSoC 2017 :) > > > Regards, > > Saurabh Badhwar (h4xr) -- Athos Ribeiro http://www.ime.usp.br/~athoscr _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
