This is cc:'d the list owner. Warren, can we make changes to
the
mailing list pages along these lines? Everyone, speak up to fix the
language here, or don't and let Warren make the changes verbatim:
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list
Under "About fedora-docs-list":
"The Fedora Docs Project is for writers and testers of documentation for
Fedora Core. The fedora-docs-list is for writers to discuss
documentation. For technical answers information, use <a
^^^^ and/or?
I can live with that; this is kind of an incremental process in any
case, so there's no reason to go overboard on changing every reference
to fedora-docs-list at once. If we're still getting a third of our
threads devoted to out-of-band issues three or six months down the road
we could make additional changes.
If we really want to drive the point home, we can put this blurb in
the
"welcome to the mailing list" message emailed to new subscribers. This
is a nice thing to do for people, letting them know right away what is
on-topic:
"Fedora-docs-list is for writers interested in creating and editing
documentation for Fedora Core. This is not the place to obtain
documentation or technical help, other than help using the Fedora Docs
Project toolchain. If you need help using Fedora Core, use fedora-list;
subscribe at
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list."
I would surround "This is not the place..." with <em> or <i> just
to
make sure it's read. Looks good!
