Hello!
To be honest I looked at wikis and so, but I'm still rather confused,
I don't know really where or how to start. Why do I want to start
packaging? Well, I want to keep contributing to Fedora but more into
development. As I know programming languages but I'm not too
experienced I think starting with packaging and/or maintaining
something small will fit better my skills.
Your approach (offering a link in Gnome Software when a program is
missing) would be great, I think.
I just opened ticket [1] asking this feature. Not sure if it ever be
implemented, but let's see ....
