Below is a summary of the points raised so far since draft 2. I think it would be a gesture of cooperative effort if someone other than me wrote draft 3. Any takers? If we cannot - as a community - create this document then we have no place asking people to follow this communities guidelines. I suggest that we repost draft three as a new thread so people who have started ignoring this thread can see we are still working on it. solidarity, Duncan -- >From Rahul Sundaram: info command name locate <stuff you want to know about> rpm -qd <packagename> fedora.redhat.com/docs redhat.com/docs fedoratracker.org fedoraproject.org/extras -- >From Charles Curley: You may also find useful http://www.charlescurley.com/netiquette.html. 4.5. Trim irrelevant material. Why? It makes it easier to read your reply and helps the reader to stay on subject. On medium and high traffic lists (such as this one), many people decide whether to read a message solely on the subject line. This is not obvious to people who are new to mailing lists. -- >From Matt: (seconded Gustavo Seabra) b) When you send in a new topic, do not start by replying to an existing message, but rather, start a new message to "fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx". This keeps messages organized by thread, for people who like to use threads (on high-volume mailing lists like this one, threads can be a great convenience). -- >From beartooth: ... who *start* on gmane, and spare themselves the detour through email. Shouldn't the advice address them? -- >From Gustavo Seabra: I think a monthly mail reminder would be good. Also, it could be kept in a web page, and a link to this page added in the bottom of the messages, together with the "Fedora-list" things. -- Adding or not adding [solved] - seems to be in dispute with no clear preference.
