Ahmed's 'wishlist' item and Matt's item - I'll plan to file a ticket
for improved guidance on using Bugzilla, and ask Ahmed for specific
input on what might help. I wonder if it might be a good idea to drag
ourselves into the 21st century and record some videos covering common
QA activities too, that might be something some folks would appreciate
more than text instructions? For openQA, I'll ask Ahmed for more detail
on specifically what he'd like to do with it here, as "operating" the
tests isn't something we envisage most contributors typically needing
to do.
From the "helper's" point of view I find videos to be very good. I use
OBS-Studio. When I have "how do you" questions from a user, I use
OBS-Studio to record the screen and my voice as a short video while I do
a "show and tell" of how to do whatever it is they want to do. The added
benefits are that I rarely get followup questions and I can answer any
repeat or duplicate questions very quickly.
How does this sound to everyone? Please add any suggestions you have!
And there's still time to add new items to the retrospective itself, if
any new ones show up, I'll update this list of proposed actions.
To begin with this will be a bit off topic. I've spent most of my free
time in the last year learning about servers. The application is "home
servers" Most of the folks I know have multiple devices they use but
they don't have storage to hold all the documents, code snips, images,
etc. they may want to access from a given device at a given time. A home
server is a good answer
The folks on Ask Fedora were very helpful. I summarized the initial
results in this post:
https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fun-home-project/34347
The hurtles for setting up a home server are daunting for the
uninitiated. I estimate that I spent around 200 hours in the last year
looking for doc's, asking questions, understanding the answers, trying
things, etc. I expect that this is due to the expectation that servers
are for businesses that hire people with specific skills and training to
setup and manage servers.
I'm hoping, that when it's done, the information presented in my follow
up posts will lower the time investment and pre-answer many of the
questions involved with such an effort.
Getting more people familiar with more ways to use fedora and provide
them with a trail of bread crumbs to follow seems like a good thing to
me. We probably have more opportunities to lower the hurtles for people
to use various Fedora offerings.
Have a Great Day!
