Ohh! I see Joerg Simon sending those 'mentored by ...' posts when they invite new Ambassadors to the group. So, was wondering if the discussions are done on this list.

I was wondering if we could have a minimal checklist items for each new joinee that they must do (and ascertain them), before they can start to work on a Fedora sub-project of their interest.

For example, instead of having to repeat to each new joinee to create an IRC nickname, register the nickname, join the Fedora mailing lists, create a blog, add the blog to the planet etc., if we give them a checklist when they create a FAS account, they can change the status of each checklist item to 'completed' when they finish it.

Yes, these are mundane tasks, and they ought to be verified, if they can be. It will help us to focus more on sub-project work.

When they have completed the required items and checked them, they can then start to work with mentors from a sub-project. Each mentor has their own style of work, which is fine, and it is best left to the mentor on how they want to work, as long as it confines to the realms of the project and goals.

I see that FAS uses turbogears and postgresql for the backend. I am not sure about the Infrastructure constraints though.

Just some thoughts,

Request that the above link also include as reading material the Appropriate Content for Planet Fedora as being stated at https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-December/msg000 28.html

done ;)

- btw. i wonder why only nudity or near-nudity is explicit listed - so violence is covered by "other adult material"?

IMO, this list should be used for the above.

IRC is one place where I see discussions happening, but, that should only complement any interaction on this list.
