I self-assigned #180 Switching desktop environments.
I’m already getting hands-on with Xfce, LXQt and KDE, so I could bridge this together.

@pboy I can help out with proofreading 153 and 111. EDIT: Proofreading done.

@anthonymcglone Many thanks!

Hi @pboy, this list is super helpful! I think these are great entry points for anyone who wants to get more involved with Fedora and Fedora Docs.

Is it adding too much work to put these into a Community Blog post? It could be written as a call-to-action for contributors in Fedora Quick Docs. If you add some links to the issues and context for how people could help in each of these different stages, my hypothesis is that it would go a long way. We could also sync with the Marketing Team to promote the CommBlog article in our social channels.

I know this is an extra ask, but you already have done the hard work of triaging, so this felt like a natural extension to get more eyes and hands on some of these tasks. What do you think?

Hi @jflory7 , we discussed that 1 or 2 meetings ago, and it is on my to-do list now. Unfortunately, there are a lot of other entries, as well. I hope to be able to put a 1st draft on hackmd in about 2 weeks, so we can discuss and improve it.

I’m happy to take a look at a draft and share feedback, if helpful!

Maybe this is helpful? A lot of the original quick docs documents were identified using a similar list.

I got a report from Google’s webmaster tools about our search performance last year. This is the list of pages that got the most incoming search traffic (at least 5000 visits). You can see that the top few get a LOT of traffic. There is some “survivor bias” here, of course, but I think it’d be good to make sure we’re converting this visibility to up-to-date docs.

(Also, the second one is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_edit_iptables_rules — see Issue #525: Review of older documents: How to edit iptables rules - quick-docs - Pagure.io)
