Hi,
For what it’s worth, I found Fedora Discussion *long* before this list, even as someone who has a fair bit of experience in mailing lists so I think this is a great idea.
I think it’s far more discoverable over there, and a lot easier to find and follow the flow of previous posts, which might cut down on some of the repetitiveness of a list like this.
Just my two cents.
Best wishes to all, Alex

As I look back at the traffic here from the last year, 95% of it is introductions. I think those could certainly be in https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/c/fun/8 instead — either as individual posts in the #introductions tag, or added to the https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/introduce-yourself/1875/ mega-thread. Or, we could start a new one _specifically_ for Fedora Join.
There are also several "what can I do"? posts. It _might_ be useful to have a separate tag (or even Team Workflows category) for that... but as I understand the workflow, that's really supposed to be supported by the Pagure ticket process.
And then there's been just a few "here's an easy thing to get involved in" annoucement messages. Honestly, I think these mostly get drowned in the noise of introductions. I like the idea of a "push" of these ideas to potentially interested people, and theoretically that's where mailing lists shine, but I think probably if people's traffic from the list is mostly _other_ things, they're unlikely to find these.
I wonder if those announcements would be better served by a revamped "Easyfix" process — there was some conversation about that here: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/lets-talk-about-easyfix/32759.
There is also the #join tag (https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/join), which I intended to be for topics like this one, about the team and process itself. Ideally, all the formal members of the SIG (the sponsors https://accounts.fedoraproject.org/group/fedora-join/, right?) would set that tag as "Watching" so they get notifications.
Personally, I think this will be a lot easier for onboarding new people.
