Hi my name is Justin Dorfman and I work for a company called Sourcegraph. We recently partnered with the Fedora project and I would like to propose the following article. Thanks and I look forward to your feedback.
Article Summary:
Teach the Fedora community how to search 34k+ Fedora repositories with Sourcegraph. A quick origin story of the partnership (for context) and tutorials on how to use Sourcegraph to help Fedora users find things easier and faster.
Fedora Project Leader Matthew Miller, left a response: “Since we don’t have a complete exploded, searchable repository of all of the packages in Fedora, I don’t have a quick way to check.”
And another response: “… or possibly pay Sourcegraph to do it for us. They seem like nice people.”
He is correct, we are nice people, but we don’t want your money
In case you haven’t found it yet, here is a link to some documentation that contains further links to the Fedora Magazine WordPress instance and some other things.
Also, I’ve created card #92 in our issue tracker to track that status of this article. Please use the card to let the editors know when the article is ready for review or to ask us anything else about the technical details of the article or the website.
I did sign into WordPress and I started a draft to test if we could do embed search results with an iframe and it didn’t seem to work. The fallback can be screenshots it just won’t be as effective IMO.
Hi @jdorfman someone pointed out this article in the Fedora Mindshare Committee[0] channel as a good fit for a cross post to the Fedora Community Blog[1]. Would you be interested in submitting it on that platform as well? If you are, there is a short process to follow for submitting to the CommBlog [2] but I think you may be able to request a cross post here on Discussion under the #commops tag
Nothing from me. It looks like @siddharthvipul1 has been handling the CommBlog posts lately. Maybe he can help move things along. I’m guessing the first thing you will need to do will be to duplicate the content of your article on the CommBlog website.
Typically, we don’t cross-post between Magazine and CommBlog because that’s redundant (and frankly Magazine gets wayyyyyyyyyyyy more views[1] than CommBlog does). In this case, I think there’s room for a related post. The Magazine article gives some good examples, but if you can think of another contributor-focused example or two, we could run that and link to the Magazine article for further reading.
