Hi
1) Boilerplate similar to POSTISOFFTOPIC but specifically for addressing
issues to upstream. A group of volunteers to send the actual message
whenever a post is off topic. Everyone else agrees to ignore off-topic
posts.
Ok. This one is easy. Just register yourself in fedoraproject.org/wiki
and let me know your username offlist. I will add you to the edit group.
You can go ahead and create templates then.
2) Start a project to package different default values for Extras. We
have redhat-rpm-config changing rpm and fedora-release changing the
config of yum. Maybe there should be a poweruser-gconf-tweaks. (More
seriously, it should probably be more like config-nautilus-nonspatial,
config-rpmbuild-userdirs, config-metacity-focusfollows, etc) this can
work for things that just require default config changes but will not
work for compilation/upstream code changes.
I would prefer people working on documenting these. A good desktop users
guide and "power" user FAQ's for Fedora which details out the common
changes such as these would be useful. I dont think installing different
packages for trivial changes such as these is really a good idea. What
if you install this package and then change the configuration to a
conflicting value?
3) Express interest in following upstream developments. Encourage the
opening of bugzilla.redhat.com bugs with upstream bug #'s for these
issues. There's no commitment to make changes, just a commitment to
actively monitor what upstream has to say about the issue and if
upstream commits to making a change, we'll do the same.
Oh. I just got flamed a couple of days back for telling people to report
bugs rather than rant on IRC channels and user lists. I am supposed to
be fixing bugzilla to be more end user friendly first. Dont ask me how.
I have no idea
regards
Rahul
