I like this page structure. I see it as more engaging to the people
reading the page too. Given some time to research it, I think this is
something that we could work on in CommOps.

From what I see, the current system provides the option to use a tag
other than "easyfix" to mark tickets as such, but we can standardise
this and ask everyone to stick to a case insensitive "easyfix" to make
it somewhat simpler.

Recently, I was looking at the Github docs, and they have a very nice
"contact a human" link on all their pages. Can we add this to the
easyfix page somehow? I think Hubs is to be moved to prod soon, so this
may not be needed. We can use Col 3 above to link to the SIG's landing
page on Hubs which, as I remember, will have the IRC/ML status in the
sidebars or somewhere.

I've wanted this functionality for a long time but needs dedicated
development time full-time. If not, then an active effort is needed to
create a roadmap with easyfixes rolled in to attract contributors.
In retrospect, all of this sounds like a good GSoC proposal. Not sure if
it's too late to expand on the idea and find a mentor for it.
I'd love a "contact a human" link on WCIDFF too. It could either take
folks to the related SIG's landing page on hubs, or to their IRC channel
using webchat/matrix/whatever. Even our "Communicating and getting help"
page would be a start, although, there's quite a bit of info there and
people new to the community may find it confusing
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicating_and_getting_help
(I just noticed that telegram, matrix etc. are not mentioned on this
page yet :o )
Ideally, I'd like a "contact a human" link on all our footers. We have
~40 channels and even more mailing lists. There is no shortage of
communication methods for everything Fedora related, so would be a bad
idea to help folks get to them?

+1. Super helpful for writing even outside of the Fedora community or
for anyone that wants to highlight a call to action to participate.

Thinking aloud here:
- would an RSS feed of the easyfix page be useful?
- a bot that posts a daily update of the easyfix issues to the planet
maybe? (and so this post will also go out on the fedobot twitter
handle I think?)

I'm interested in all the above, but skeptical to whether all pieces are
solvable by CommOps.
I'm interested in it too, and can help with some of the bits I'm sure.
I don't think -join is as active as I'd like it to be, and this is
partly because we haven't reached a critical mass where it becomes
self-sustaining yet. So, I'm open to any ways at all that will encourage
folks to talk to us (whether new folks or seasoned contributors).
Thanks for bringing this up :)
