>Hi folks, >I propose a simple web-FAD to clean up the package maintainer's >wishlist[1]. It shouldn't really take up more than an hour if we have a >few people working on this.
>Q. What is the wishlist? >A. It's a list of packages that fedora users would like to see in the >fedora repositories. Unfortunately, the list is not well maintained and >thus, gives inaccurate information to package maintainers. >Q. Benefits of the clean up? >A. Package maintainers will benefit from a well maintained wish-list. >It's a good place to direct prospective package maintainers too, when >they're looking for packages to get started with. >Q. How much time will it take? >A. Maybe an hour and a half, two at the most. >Q. What do I need to carry? >A. A connection to the interweb, a web browser, IRC client. Optional but >recommended: Pizza, bacon, coffee, beer, $food, $music. >Q. Why APAC specific? >A. Folks from one region are more likely to be available at a certain >time. Any one interested is more than welcome to join in, as always. :) >Q. What do I need to know? >A. Reading/writing/wiki editing. Use of package manager tools, bugzilla, >packagedb. Should have FAS account to be able to edit wiki. >Q. What do I need to do? >A. Simple workflow: >- Pick up a package listed in the wishlist >- Check if it is already packaged, or if a review ticket has already >been filed on bugzilla >- Modify wiki page accordingly. >Q. What can I learn during this FAD? >A. Using yum/$package_manager; using bugzilla; package maintainers >process; meet people, get to know your community folks, above all, *have >fun*. >Q. Future plans? >A. See if anyone would like to take over the responsibility of >maintaining the wish list. We could even repeat the FAD every month or >two. >I haven't thought of a time yet. APAC folks, are you up for it? Please >reply with a date and time that is convenient to you. Sometime this >week, Wednesday/Thursday would be nice. >Please forward the e-mail to other APAC regional mailing lists. I'm >cc'ing the Join and India lists.
