Hi Sylvia,
Just wondering, what were the places you were looking at to find the
information how to start maintaining package in Fedora. Or what is the
reason you want to package something into Fedora.
I am asking, since there are various ongoing activities to make the
process easier to newcomers [1], but unfortunately, they are not
always successful. So would it be for example helpful, if
gnome-software shown some link with help how to package the missing
software, e.g.
1) Open Gnome Software
2) Sear for "myfavoriteapp"
3) The link [2] is provided instead of "Application was not found"
message.
Would this help or just make you confused? Would the similar approach
for Fedora packages [3] helped? Is there some other place you were
looking at which long time Fedora package does not visit, but newcomer
does?

Hello!
To be honest I looked at wikis and so, but I'm still rather confused, I
don't know really where or how to start. Why do I want to start
packaging? Well, I want to keep contributing to Fedora but more into
development. As I know programming languages but I'm not too experienced
I think starting with packaging and/or maintaining something small will
fit better my skills.
Your approach (offering a link in Gnome Software when a program is
missing) would be great, I think.
Cheers,
Sylvia
