Hey again, Jonas Meurer: >>> So here's the idea we came up with: We could explicitely broaden the >>> scope of debian-mentors to include any questions regarding Debian >>> infrastructure software. >>> That basicly would mean to explicitely mention "questions on >>> infrastruc-ture projects" in our docs about debian-mentors. >>> Additionally, when the infrastructure teams don't have time to mentor >>> new contributors, they could point them to debian-mentors. >>> >>> My hope is that having debian-mentors as an endorsed entry point for >>> diving into Debian infrastructure would lower the entry barrier >>> significantly for new contributors who'd like to dive into our >>> infrastructure software projects. >> >> Next step will be to update the documentation about debian-mentors: >> >> Once this is done, it should be announced on more popular channels. Misc >> Developer News[4] would be a good one and maybe also a dedicated mail to >> debian-devel-announce? >> >> [4] https://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews >> >> I think the key to success here is that people in Debian (especially >> those in infrastructure/service teams) have to adapt to the practice of >> pointing newbies with their questions to debian-mentors. > > Will do that once the list description got updated. Since the mailinglist description got updated very quickly I went ahead and added a paragraph about the broadened debian-mentors scope to DeveloperNews: https://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews#Scope_of_debian-mentors_broadened_to_help_with_infrastructure_questions Again, feel free to review and improve :) Cheers jonas
