Hrm, I was thinking that after the introduction has been received (tagged: S: Introduced myself), we could move on to the "how to contribute to fedora" link.
That way, they:
- first learn about FOSS and Fedora in general
- then, we get them slowly started with "how to contribute".
If we give them this link right at the start, they are likely to skip all the others and try to find tasks again.
The apps link is useful for people that show interest in the infra side of things. Otherwise, it'll be "too much information".
I'd leave wcidff as the last one, and the optional one. It again tries to point people *quickly* to teams and tasks without people speaking to us. So, this sort of goes against the idea of letting them get comfortable with the people of Fedora first.
What do you think?
I totally agree with you, with the idea of getting familiar with the community first is great. As you said we should be helping people with links after they have introduced themselves. Should we open a ticket to update with the rest of the community? Let me know how do you plan to take forward this step.
+1, always good to bump tickets. As we'll all have seen, the Council are working on the Vision statement at the moment, and I expect once that task is complete, the rest of all this will also be done, since it's all related. Feel free to bump the ticket though :)
Sure. I will do a quick update on the ticket.
Awesome :)
This is meant to be it: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join
It includes:
- roles,
- requirements,
- tasks,
- teams linked to roles,
It's basically a one page version of wcidff. I'm not a fan of this either. It throws everything there is to do at people, and that doesn't help newbies---probably confuses them.
Each team has their own bits on the wiki or docs, and this at the moment cannot be helped. The "Hubs" project was supposed to be sort of a centralised app to help with all this, but that got shelved.o

At the moment, Easyfix is a static page that is simply regenerated regularly:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedora-gather-easyfix
It can certainly be improved to make it more useful. It doesn't give us any information on whether the tasks are being accepted and completed:
- does not mark new tasks,
- does not tell us how many new tasks were added, and when,
- does not tell us what tasks were taken up by people and completed.
So, we can't easily write a blog post each week that says "New tasks added this week". It'll have to be done manually at the moment.
+1: tasks that can be done quickly and have high impacts.
Should we discuss improvements to easyfix in a new thread?
+1. Please tag me when you create a new thread. I will try to find some ideas for its betterment, but a head start with some initial ideation by you will be great.
Let me know if you have any other plans. For now we can focus on the easy fix.
Thanks Alisha
