Maybe focusing on an existing solution (like stack exchange itself), which is broadly indexed by google, would pay off more. We already have wiki, docs, bugzilla, fedora forums, and mailing lists. None of that is being curated. I fear we're spreading the knowledge to so many sources that none of them are going to wind up being valuable. I agree. I think the issue is that stack exchange is seen as yet another github with all the closed source community outrage surrounding it. I have no emotional energy to deal with that poop-storm. On a side note, for clarity of people reading this later on. Neither bugzilla or fedora forums are 'owned' by Fedora in any form. I say this just as a clarification that people ask us in Infrastructure to fix them and we can't. -- Stephen J Smoogen. _______________________________________________ infrastructure mailing list -- infrastructure@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to infrastructure-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
