Dear coordinators,
yesterday I added our first new upstream project: debbuild [1]
This raised two questions to me:
1. why should the Fedora community pay to host someone else project? We will reach the limit of our hosting some day, we need to be ready to answer that.
2. why would a project use our infrastructure? Projects can host their own Weblate instance and some prefer to use Pull Request instead of web interface...
I feel like we should start to write about this, and that probably means we will have to exchange hosting for internationalization improvement to hosted projects.
Here is a page to host this content https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10n/Hosting_guidelines
My proposal would be to allow us to vote when we all a new line in the guidelines, and work on detecting the correct application of these guidelines.
This would be I think a good way for the Fedora community to bring progress in the FOSS ecosystem.
What do you think?
