I started writing this a while ago and never got it fully formed. Rather than let it keep rotting in my drafts folder I wanted to share it and see if it made sense to anyone else.
Warning - rough edges ahead!

Conversations with several people have resulted in distilling the following idea:
= EasyFix
== Changing metadata
Modify the table that drives fedoraproject.org/easyfix that is located at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Easyfix
The table would now include two additional columns (optional)
Col 1 = existing reference to the issue tracker. We should consider adding gitlab.com support
Col 2 = existing point of contact
Col 3 = category of task (documentation, infrastructure, programming-Haskell, programming-Ruby, etc.)
Col 4 = SIG/WG/etc. this project is related too (Design, Council, KDE, etc.)
== Changing fedoraproject.org/easyfix
Today we show only two categories: Issues from Pagure/Github and Bugzillas
I believe those categories are not the right categories for consumers of the page. Using the new category (col 3) above, we would break things out by the kind of contribution. This would serve to let people browse related tasks more easily and to reduce the overwhelming nature of the current lists.
For BZs we are either going to have to guess based on BZ metadata or leave them lumped together.
= WCIDFF
WCDIFF should be extended to show the categories and groups appropriate for the various endpoints. This way the person who navigates WCDIFF has the option of reading a specific task they could work on right now, if they so desire.
= Marketing/Promotion
The categories give us the opportunity to promote our easyfixes as a great way to join or contribute in a targeted manner. This could come in the form of articles, tweets, or live conference appearances.
What do people think?

bex
Hi all,
As discussed earlier, please fill out this WhenIsGood poll by Sunday,
March 31, to decide a new meeting day and time for CommOps.
http://whenisgood.net/fedora/commops/spring-2018-meeting
Make sure to update your time zone before choosing times, so they
display correctly for you. I also split up meeting times by 30 minutes,
to allow for greater flexibility for start / finish times.
We'll try and finalize the new time before next week's meeting. Please
fill this out by this Sunday, March 31, so we can update the meeting to
a new day and time.
Thanks all!

Dear all,
You are kindly invited to the meeting:
CommOps Hack Session on 2018-04-01 from 17:00:00 to 18:00:00 UTC
At fedora-commops(a)irc.freenode.net
The meeting will be about:
This special meeting is a hack session to work on some ongoing tasks and tickets for the Fedora CommOps team. The meeting format is an audio/video call, where anyone can join to work on tasks and ask for help if needed.
All CommOpsers are welcome to attend, even if it's only for part of the time slot.
More information available at:
[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Hack_session](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki…
Source: https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/meeting/8733/
For some reason it didn’t send the rest.
I am known as DetectiveTaco on the Freenode IRC network. I am in the
Eastern Standard Time Zone. I am interested in working with the community
blog as I am familiar with blogs and websites because I have my own
website, blog, forums. It is brand new because I just decided to start
another community.
So that’s the rest.

Hi, I am Tanmoy. I have joined here yesterday. I am a computer science and engineering student. My other interests are in Web Development, App Development, Game Development, Raspberry pi, etc. Very excited for CommOps.
Good Morning everyone,
Some of the folks in the Fedora infrastructure team met up just before
devconf.cz in January and went quickly through "the state of apps".
One app that appears to be currently broken is fedora-tagger [1].
Basically it is still listening for new packages being added to pkgdb, which
means it's outdated for all packages since pkgdb has been deprecated.
From the Fedora Infrastructure's perspective, we don't want to invest time to
maintain this app. We have other tasks that we want to prioritize.
However, the app itself is still running quite fine and is low maintenance.
So if some people were interested in keeping it alive we can make it happen.
But we're not the ones who are going to do it.
Fedora-tagger does have some interest, especially to new comers.
So we would like to know if commops would be interested taking over this
project.
If there is sufficient interest and will, we will transfer fedora-tagger and
help getting keeping it running.
Otherwise we will deprecate it.
The current idea would be to deprecate this service at the infra FAD. Which
means we need an answer at the latest next week (say Thursday March 29th) so
that if we deprecate it we have time to announce it more broadly.
Thanks for reading all the way through here and looking forward your feedbacks,
Pierre
- For the Fedora Infrastructure Team

The new look for the Magazine looks awesome! If you're working on
WordPress themes, it would also be nice to pull the Community Blog
closer in sync with what is happening on the Magazine too.
https://pagure.io/communityblog-theme
I'd love to see some of these style changes work their way into the
Community Blog theme too.
