Dear all As part of the recent web team sprint [1] (report will come in the following days hopefully), we have reviewed several areas of the website that were in need of maintenance.
[1] https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2019/DebianWebTeam For the /english/misc/merchandise page [2], we need maintainer(s) to keep up-to-date the database of merchandise, process new requests, and care about the bugs related to the list of Debian merchandise, if any. [2] https://www.debian.org/misc/merchandise This is a call for help, or request for "adoption": would anybody volunteer to this task? In the /english/misc folder of our repo [3] you can find the books-related files. [3] https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/blob/master/english/misc/ Maintaining the merchandise page can be a nice entry point for somebody to get involved in the Debian web team. Technically speaking, it's an easy job, but the "curation" task that a human provides is very appreciated by our users. On the contrary, an outdated or unmaintained list of providers looses its value very quickly. If somebody is interested in adoption, they won't be alone (at least at the beginning). I've included my address in the alias eve...@debian.org to work together with them until they find a suitable workflow and they feel comfortable doing the task themselves. We'll also document everything for others to jump in too. If nobody steps ahead at the end of the year, we'll move the current (English) content to https://wiki.debian.org/Merchandise, removing the page (English and translations) from www.debian.org. If you are interested, reply to this message in the public mailing list (debian-www@lists.debian.org) or privately to eve...@debian.org and I'll point to detailed steps to start. You can also join #debian-www IRC channel (in irc.debian.org). Kind regards, -- Laura Arjona Reina https://wiki.debian.org/LauraArjona
