Fwd: Listing our current forces

Hi folks,

This email (below) was sent to xfce4-dev today. Should we list
Xfce-SIG of Fedora for QA? I think this would increase communication
between upstream and us, potentially.

Cheers,
Mukundan.

Hi everyone,

Following discussion today on IRC, we've started a Wiki page
(https://wiki.xfce.org/people) on which all Xfce contributors can list
the areas in which they're willing to work in the future.

This list will be very useful in:
- - identifying weak spots, where we urgently need new contributors
- - ensuring that each SIG has one person monitoring progress and
setting milestones

I'd like to ask everyone to add themselves onto the list to help us
reach that goal. If you're a Xfce distributor, you can also indicate
on that list how your team can help us e.g., by providing testing or
developer effort on apps, by giving us a contact point for bug
triaging, etc.

Thanks,

Listing our current forces

[Steve Dodier-Lazaro]

Hey Mukundan,

This is a very good idea. In fact, I was thinking we should either get
the downstreams (Xubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Arch, FreeBSD, Slackware
seem the most common) to have official reps who commit to our dev ML
and ensure communication flows down, or we could have an announce-only
mailing list that posts down to the dev MLs and accounts of all
downstreams, so we can contact them quickly for emergencies, important
announces and security announcements.

Either way works, the second one is maybe more accountable and
maintainable, and the first one more prone to triggering interactions.

Well, I suspect most of the downstream maintainers are already on the
upstream dev list. I know I am. ;) 

So, it would make sense to just post there and expect downstreams to
follow.

I prefer just using the upstream list for that, but open to
whatever. ;)
