As one of the current OP's #fedora, I think that starting with a basic
#fedora channel guideline would be the best way to start. Then the
users would know what is tolerated and what is not, it would also
cover guidelines for the OP's as far as code of conduct and what is
grounds for a ban/kick including time frames for each.
Agreed. Perhaps we can draft something rough this week and polish it
over the next few.
When I became and OP 2 years ago it was here you go your an OP now.
This was done due to the lack of OPs at the time. Several of us were
thrown into this position this way. Not a good way to start in the
channel. It would have been nice to have a reference at that time.
I am also one of the "Helpers" in the channel, I help many people to
the best of my ability. I do know quite a bit as I have been running
*nix since 1998 but I still have many things to learn. So I agree
with the proposed training sessions.
I am also one of the founders of Fedora Unity and the reason we set it
up was to document many of the items that could not be covered in the
Installation Guide due to legalities. I think we have done a pretty
good job but it would be nice if we could do better.
I am all for the the changes and believe it needs to start with
guidelines first, all the other things could be implemented at a later
time but the guidelines are needed NOW!! The guidelines would
instantly improve the quality of the channel in short time.
Agreed again. It seems that's the priority for the SIG.
