Hiya,
I hope everyone had a good holiday. I'm still on a vacation of sorts, but since most folks are back, I thought I'd get the ball rolling ASAP. So here it is:
I'll drop a +1 here for considering making this a larger objective in the Project.
I'm all for this too, obviously, but I really cannot commit to the work it'll require. :/

I think having Join+CommOps work together on this would be useful. I think it is critical that this (like your mentoring comments below) become somewhat self-sustaining and not require constant effort from a small group to keep it rolling.
For more details (scant) on my thinking see https://pagure.io/fedora-commops/issue/100
Ah - will go through it tomorrow, hopefully and see if I can contribute in some way.

Everytime I turn around I feel like someone points out yet another Fedora web property or presence that is not well connected. This one may even be on the bottom of fedoraproject.org but I suspect it isn't visited. I'd love to see join audit for websites that are likely entry points and see if they can work with the web group to determine usage statistics and update statistics. I have this nagging feeling we may be spread thin - but I'd love to be proven wrong with facts.
Oh! I've been meaning to audit our web apps for a while now. I'd even begun to compare our sites to other open source projects such as Mozilla to see how they went about with their webspace. Adding this as another issue here:

A classroom how too is a good plan. Should we consider making this something that we can leverage the community of a larger edu focused site with too? I am not suggesting we think "University" but advertising a lesson on a larger community site will increase the likelihood of new users/contributors joining.
+100.
Most of the skills we use in the community are not really specific skills, and so, our classrooms teach quite general subjects. We really should put these out in the websphere more.
Do we think the Join SIG should take up responsibility of managing the classrooms? We're doing the mentoring too, so this seems like a coherent plan. I can start putting things into place on pagure if we think this is OK?
