If I were trying to do what you are I'd start with getting clearer about
what I'm really interested in and what I have to bring to the table
Basically I agree. That is is why I wrote in my initial post:
I do not have the technical skills to contribute viable code.
I've been a computer *USER* since early 60's.
Is there a forum whose goal is guiding consumers to provide _USEFUL_ feedback?
I already have a good idea of where to:
1. find current topics of interest to differing audiences.
2. contribute any useful results.
Mailing lists which qualify include debian-user, debian-blends, and
debian-boot.
The desired forum may not be explicitly software focused, let alone be
for a specific Linux distro. Based on my experience of taking multiple
Freshman writing courses over three decades, many contributors might be
writing instructors. What I wish to do is read the archives of such a
forum to better organize my efforts.
From my experience, that's harder to do. It's easier to ask others what
they need. Figuring it out for oneself is a slower process of refinement.
+1 Start by telling us more about your personal interests. Hobbies?
Careers? [snip]
Don't know how productive that will be <chuckle>
I was in 9th grade when Sputnik was launched. I was very good in math
and science. My farther was an electrical engineer. Thus it was
foreordained that I was destined to pursue a BSEE. Hindsight suggests
that pursuing a Physics program would have been more successful. I spent
a decade as an electronics tech in a university research environment.
Then two decades in private sector doing engineering and customer
support (emphasis on QA/QC).
Once when job hunting thru a temp-to-permanent agency, I got one
interview because the company owner wished to meet someone who would not
only claim, but document, such a strangely diverse history ;}
