I just want a system so I and everyone else, can see who's committed to doing what, so we can start getting a sense of what contribution means beyond maintaining a package. Helping other users is part of that, but we don't really 'see' it or recognize it, at the project level. I think its time to do that. For example, #fedora could be a lot better than what it is, if we organized help just a weebit. Office hours in a help channel, is a small thing, but makes a lot of sense. And if we can have a helper or two attached to every SIG, so we can carve out some common tasking across all SIGs, then maybe having an office hour or two in the irc channel could be one of those things. Organizing a group of helpers I don't think will be very hard, we don't need 24 hour coverage, having holes in the schedule encourages new people to step up. But if we are going to do it, then we need to have the bits in place... UI which whisks people to an irc channel, and works with livecd images. So the UI pretty much has to ask for an irc nick to use..unique default username can't be assumed for livecd scenarios. Do we have someone we can do the technical bits and make the push for help button happen? That person isn't me. If someone can commit to making that button happen, I'll organize the initial helpdesk members and ops for a new channel (or perhaps I'll clean up #fedora.. which would involve allowing non registered users) -jef -- Fedora-desktop-list mailing list Fedora-desktop-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-desktop-list
