I am bored and feeling altruistic Yeah, I'd love to try to encourage these things. So _maybe_ the idea is worth trying. > Implementation options: [...] As someone pointed out, we do have a wiki page, but that's not very successful. Of the things you suggest, I think a pagure or gitlab tracker is probably the most viable. Another option would be to set up a category on Fedora Discussion -- see https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/considering-a-general-reorganization-of-this-site/34174/53?u=mattdm ... this would probaly go in the "Specific Workflows" section. We could have a template for the category and enable voting (with, of course, a clear notice that voting doesn't mean anything but 'there's a lot of user interest'). Either way, though, if it's just a place where suggestions go to die, it's probably better to not have at all. -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ 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 Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
