Hello, Asahi SIG! I’ve set up this area with some basic defaults for permissions and Discourse settings. However, it’s really your area — so if you’d like something different, we can do that!
One particular area you might want to think about is tags, which we use heavily on other parts of the site. We can define tag groups which could be specific to this area, and have various rules for those, if you like. (For example, we could require posts in Ask Asahi to include a tag indicating hardware version.)
There is also an @asahi-siggroup. This is synced from the Fedora Account System, and as currently configures, everyone in that group is given Category Moderator status here. (We could make a separate group for that.)
We can enable or (leave disabled) the ability to tag the whole group with @asahi-sig. And, it’s possible to enable a group inbox — I’d suggest against it, because personally I’ve got enough different inboxes already, but if you want, it’s an option.
I won’t be able to keep up with every topic, but I will follow this topic — or post in Site Help & Feedback. Let me know!
It looks like there’s some kind of auto bump enabled (e.g. see Firefox and widevine aarch64 - #5 by nuovodna), are we supposed to mark posts as resolved? I couldn’t find an obvious control to do that.
Yeah, this is configurable — I turned auto-bump on for Ask Asahi but not the others. I’ll list options here — not completely comprehensive because there are a lot, but I think these are the most generally relevant:
I think we probably don’t want auto-bump since it doesn’t seem terribly useful; there are many times the answer to a question is “just wait” or ambiguous or unclear, and then we have to arbitrarily pick something as the answer to stop the auto-bumper (unless I misunderstood how it works?).
I’ll second that - the autobump feature is incredibly annoying, and for most posts doesn’t seem to provide a useful function since those posts don’t have a solution.
I’m waiting for the time when one of the issues is solved upstream so I can post “Whoohoo! It looks like 36 autobumps solved the problem magically!”
But then that post would also need to be marked “Solved” to actually turn off the autobumper
