Replying to [comment:3 jflory7]:
I know the Ambassadors are one group that are affected by this, as
it's
a
pre-requisite that anyone looking to be involved as an Ambassador
create
their user page with general info about them, why they want to get
involved,
etc. The Ambassador mailing list is also only able to be posted to
by
sponsored Ambassadors as well, which makes it difficult to defer
introductions to a mailing list.
Most projects require a self-introduction email, any background on why
Ambassadors chose wiki user page to come in before mailing list
subscription?
Replying to [comment:5 jflory7]:
It's a tough situation because on one hand, we're looking at
potentially
making it more difficult to get a foothold in the project [...]
Some projects clearly state on their join page the format for the
self-introduction email. A new contributor can simply copy/paste that text
and
fill in the blanks which is as easy as (if not easier than) crafting a
cool
wiki page.
While mailing lists can be spammed it seems to me that spamming a wiki is
a
much serious issue which makes admission to a project an absolute
requirement
to prevent defacing one of the public faces of Fedora.
For that reason I'm a +1 for comment:12.
