This SIG and the Wiki
by Ralph Bean
Hello all,
I'm pretty sure this is the first message to this list and I'm
writing mostly to try and re-kick-off the SIG process.
Since the start of the calendar year, I've been hacking pretty hard
on fedmsg but without much consultation with the rest of the SIG as
such. I tried holding IRC meetings for a while[1], but cancelled
them due to what I felt was inadequate turnout. I've been reporting
to the infrastructure meetings on Thursday but that's about the
limit of the formal community-building that's been done around the
SIG.
I just recently got fedmsg's docs to a release-ready state[2].
However, the Messaging_SIG wiki page has languished and is out of
date[3]. Every so often I get someone in #fedora-apps who has
read the wiki page and is understandably mis-informed.
What would you all like to do with that page? Should it link over
to the fedmsg docs section-by-section? Should it play some other role?
And what of this list? We've made a ton of progress in 2012, but
there's still much more to do. The core fedmsg libraries are stable
enough now that I feel more confident having other people program
against them. How do other SIGs work (both in theory, and in
practice). Is increasing participation a priority of ours or do you
feel that the breadth of work being done is sufficient? I don't have
much experience, here. :)
Yours-
