Matthew created a guide for email users, but i think we need a very specific and ideally short “migration guide” for people who are used to Fedora mailing lists and are trying to adjust to DIscourse layout.
Imagine I am a contributor, who has been subscribed to a devel-announce@, devel@ and packaging@ mailing lists. And I participated once in a while commenting on a change or answering a question regarding RPM macro there.
And I am not really looking for a change or exploration of new features.
How Discourse is going to work for me?
Proposal (WIP, can be updated)
devel-announce@ stays as a mailing list
There is also News & Announcements Category on the forum, which must have the same information tagged with Announce List
devel@ is #engineering
If you do not know anything else, and don’t want to get lost that should be enough to get it going.
When to use #engineering vs#*-team/sig/wg tags
-
There is an engineering question about
<topic>, which might be specifically interesting for members of a particular working group, team, SIG,:
=> Use#engineering,#<name>-wg/team/sigand#<topic>
Example:#engineering, #ci-sig, #zuul -
There is a question related to the process, internal matters of a specific group/team/sig (for example, chairing a meeting, introducing a new member…):
=> Use#<name>-wg/team/sig -
There is an engineering question about
<topic>and I don’t know which SIG might be interested in it:
=> Use#engineeringand#<topic>
Example:#engineering, #uefi, #systemd
