This Wiki page is now marked as old and slated for deletion: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help. It contains important information that we should review for accuracy and publish on the docs site. We even have a placeholder page for it (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/help/), so that's the obvious spot.
Later we'd like to link it from each page's header or footer through a change in the docs UI bundle; there's a separate issue for that (https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/fedora-docs-ui/issue/48), but we need to do the conversion first so we have somewhere to link to.
Oh yeah! I think that is exactly the page I had in mind in creating that placeholder. Thanks for the reminder!
@pbokoc does "we" mean "petr" or is it the generic "we"? I may end up working on it during meetings etc later this week, but if you're planning on tackling it, I'll stay out of your way.
@bcotton Generic. If you want to do it, be my guest :)
Metadata Update from @jflory7: - Issue priority set to: waiting on assignee - Issue tagged with: help wanted, type - new docs
Just to help move this along, let me move some things from my brain into this ticket.
I think this should be split into two pages, Getting Help and Project Communications.
Getting Help should focus on Docs, Ask Fedora, and on the #fedora channel via Matrix.
It could have some bits on how to get help in the OS itself, but I feel like maybe that gets too RTFMy. Likewise, maybe something about upstreams, but I'm not sure.
Project Communications should cover the whole glorious mess.
It should start by mentioning Ask Fedora (and the Matrix channel again), and have a link to the Getting Help page.
Next, it should talk about Fedora Chat / Matrix. Unlike the wiki page, this shouldn't attempt to list all of the channels. Instead, invite people to join the space to see. It should give a brief overview of what the server is, how we use it, and how to connect to the space from another client or homeserver.
Then, it should cover Fedora Discussion and Hyperkitty. I think it should reference announce, devel, devel-announce, and perhaps test directly, but again shouldn't attempt to list them all.
announce
devel
devel-announce
test
Finally, Other Communications Channels. Subsections in order:
I'm happy to take this one and start looking at it . @bcotton could you assign it to me?
Metadata Update from @bcotton: - Issue assigned to karl0sfandang0
@karl0sfandang0++ Thanks for taking this one!
When the PR is ready, let's also bring in folks like @ankursinha, @t0xic0der, @alciregi, and perhaps others in the Join SIG to share feedback on the updated page. I know pages like this come up often in the Join SIG, so we should coordinate carefully with those folks before retiring any wiki pages like this one (there are a LOT of links to this specific page in our 10-15 year history of the Fedora Wiki).
Tagging them now so they have some advance notice on this, or if they have any additional feedback to add now before a draft is ready, they can do so.
@jflory7 ACK. Thank you. I will do.
@karl0sfandang0 a couple of more additions as I mentioned:
These probably fall into the 3rd item in Matthew's list
Just for the sake of completeness and as a reminder item: see #185 (closed as duplicate) The item Quick Doc must be replaced by User Docs (of which Quick Doc is a part).
@pboy ACK. Thank you.
PR #186 Created
Fixed in #186
Metadata Update from @bcotton: - Issue close_status updated to: complete - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
@karl0sfandang0 Thank you for your work on this!
I set a Fedora Docs redirect on the original wiki page to the new Fedora Docs page.
