Nice!
Thanks!

I admit I didn't even know there was a mailing list! Would it be worth
discussing merging that list with the regular docs mailing list?
Well, it's ok, almost noone knows :) ... It's a secret... joking, it simply does
not get much traffic (statistics, and pre-release info mostly). All conversations are on
github.com/developer-portal instead.
Merging does not seem like a good idea to me. I can post in CC everything I write into
docs list if you want me to (but I don't, and won't read it!). I wouldn't like
replacing it, as, strictly speaking, we don't do docs on Developer Portal!
https://developer-portal.github.io/contributing/write-introduction.html
It's more aimed at existing developers who need a quick-start, simply "install
this and that", and it doesn't even have to be in Fedora (f.e. build it from
sources, or install from COPR), but the aim is instead on running it ON Fedora. I like to
think of it like from developers, to developers [on Fedora]. Just a few must-read lines
you need to get you started (or discover) the tool/tech/language... F.e. some content
didn't even make it in, simply because it was too long (docs-like).

I hope this clears it up, at least a bit.

Even if we want to leave DevAssistant pages for history, the link on
https://developer.fedoraproject.org/tools.html should probably go.
You're right, thanks for a catch! I'm thinking of removing the content altogether
though. Is anyone against?
On the other side of things, it'd be nice to add one for Toolbox.
Feel free to drop in an issue here:
