This has been discussed multiple times before here and on
fedora-websites list from a conversation initiated by me. Some
website administrations have joined the project as ambassadors,
translators etc but there is definitely more coordination required.
Ok. I will search the list then.
* If these websites carry content that is useful they should try
and merge the documentation into the
fedoraproject.org website and
documentation project as long as it fits in (nothing about
proprietary software etc)
If they don't want to do this as a single contributor is there a person
they could talk to? And there may also be the problem with different
licenses.
* People actively involved in any of these community websites can
be interested in doing translation work. Website, documentation and
packages.
Yes, as single contributors.
* These regional websites sometimes host their own packages which
could be avoided. There is usually no reason why they cant be merged
into a bigger repository. Either the official one or with a standard
third party repo.
Agreed.
* Any promotional or marketing ideas should be shared and worked
within a global team.
So one of them must join Fedora Marketing at his own? Or will Fedora
Marketing initiate a talk?
* Feedback from users can be shared. Bug reports and enhancement
requests should be made to Red Hat bugzilla instead of these forums
so that developers can deal with them directly.
Yes, of course. but not everybody can speak or write in english.
Ambassadors who are
already active in these regional websites need to bridge efforts.
* Website team might have periodical meetings with other local forum
and website administrators to enable this kind of coordination.
So the loal website administrators should join the website team at
their own?
Sorry If some of the questions may sound a little bit stupid. :)
Is there a wiki page with help and proposals for this case? I mean
something like a "starting guide" what local forums can do, to whom
they should speak and so on. Or just a page that describes how local
forums can get more involved "at a whole forum", not as single
contributors.
