Am 21. Mar, 2019 schwätzte Laura Arjona Reina so: moin moin Laura,
I would like to help out with this if I can. Do you have to be a debian developer to help? The initial need is to go through the current list and verify the listed books are relevant to stable? ciao, der.hans
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/doc/books page [2], we need maintainer(s) to keep up-to-date the database of books, process new requests, and care about the bugs related to the list of books, if any. [2] https://www.debian.org/books This is a call for help, or request for "adoption": would anybody volunteer to this task? In the /english/doc folder of our repo [3] you can find the books-related files. [3] https://salsa.debian.org/webmaster-team/webwml/blob/master/english/doc/ Maintaining the /doc/books section 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 On the contrary, an outdated or unmaintained list of books looses its value very quickly.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 bo...@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 a page under wiki.debian.org, removing the section (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 bo...@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,
