I read every mail to the list for 8 years or so but even I gave up in the end :P To answer the second part of your question: devel@ is not usually where most concrete 'project tasks and issues' come up at all. It's used for a range of things, but often it is more general discussion and kinda kicking things around than for specific planning of individual tasks. The various groups within Fedora generally plan tasks on their own lists and/or in some kind of issue tracker, often a Pagure project. Getting more specific depends a bit on exactly what kind of contribution you're interested in. Have you seen the page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join ? It's a pretty good starting point. If you're still having trouble finding a way in, feel free to mail me, I can probably either help you or point you at someone else who can :) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
