Focused on overhauling the Community communication processes and creating the infrastructure to support it. --Dawnfoster 16:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
Purpose
The MeeGo community has been growing very quickly, and we need to scale our community collaboration and contribution along with this growth.
Current problems this is designed to solve:
- Overwhelming volume of posts in a small number of mailing lists results in
- Key contributors missing important information
- Some project teams relying on private communication channels to avoid using meego-dev
- Questions and discussions are being posted in the wrong communication channels
- The same questions are being posted over and over
- People are confused about how to contribute to MeeGo and are frustrated with the process
Improvements
- Better contribution guidelines for code and other contributions - DONE.
- Community communication improvements - in process
- Better documentation about purpose of each list / forum organized by audience - mostly done, still tweaking
- Post guidelines for mailing lists and IRC use - in process
- Create more mailing lists as defined in the Community communication document - in process
- Overhaul MeeGo.com community page with all of these improvements - not started
- Improve FAQs for those questions that keep being asked - in process
- Work with other teams to document key processes that people need - in process
