#596 Add wcidff.org and fp.o/easyfix to getfedora.org
Closed: Duplicate None Opened 7 years ago by jflory7.

= Proposal =

There are two useful sites to directing visitors who are interested in contributing to Fedora, [http://whatcanidoforfedora.org/ whatcanidoforfedora.org] and [https://fedoraproject.org/easyfix/ fedoraproject.org/easyfix]. It would be useful to have these sites added to [https://getfedora.org/ getfedora.org].

= Analysis =

Having these links to those pages on getfedora.org can direct potential new contributors to interactive resources that can help jumpstart them into contributing somewhere in the project.

= Implementation =

This would probably belong best in the footer, under "Join". I think wcidff.org should be placed at the top as it's one of the best resources to point newcomers to and deserves extra highlighting. Easyfix can be placed in whatever order makes sense to the designer.


Recently we are getting more and more requests to add links to getfedora.org. Getfedora has a specific target and a specific role within our websites, but it's not a link collector for any webpage we have (just think about how many apps we have). Furthermore it is a user targeted website and has the main function to deliver our editions to the end users.

That said, let me reply to the two links:
We have a discussion on pagure about whatcanidoforfedora, and I think this is a website which we can mention on getfedora.org because it tells end users how to get involved. So this is useful, but we are still finding out where the best place would be.

Easyfix tickets are not for end users, they are too specific to stay on getfedora.org. We should not put them there, we should not put them on any website at all, but we need (and we actually DO) to redirect contributors to easyfix tickets from the repo on pagure, or from our wiki page.[[br]]
More generally speaking, if we want to add the easyfix page somewhere, then the link should go to whatcanidoforfedora.

Let's discuss whatcanidoforfedora on pagure to keep the discussion where it is. Thanks.

Understood. Def.

That said, let me reply to the two links:
* We have a discussion on pagure about whatcanidoforfedora, and I think this is a website which we can mention on getfedora.org because it tells end users how to get involved. So this is useful, but we are still finding out where the best place would be.

Awesome! Will contribute discussion there.

Totally, that makes sense.

More generally speaking, if we want to add the easyfix page somewhere, then the link should go to whatcanidoforfedora.

That's a really good idea! I wonder if we have an option for it in the 'tree?'

Let's discuss whatcanidoforfedora on pagure to keep the discussion where it is. Thanks.

Can do!
