Sometimes, someone only cares about one subtopic. Yes I know this can be somewhat addressed with proper tagging, but that takes constant effort by everyone involved to make that useful. Most users wont use them, so its up to mods or other site users to constantly be back filling that information. It's a constant effort that must always be made to keep things orderly. It exchanges immediate convenience for recent information for a more long term effort to keep older information as easily accessible as it would have been in a mailing list or a classic forum/sub-forum style structure.
For tagging, in the Project Discussion category, each topic requires at least one tag, and all of the available tags are from a relatively-short list meant to correspond directly to active project teams. You can think of each of these as a kind of mailing list — you can subscribe to or mute each of these tags.
For example, you can find docs team topics at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/tag/docs-team
In my experience in the last year or so with this structure, it works well and doesn't require a lot of maintenance.
Well, I just opened the tags box and typed 'qa', and got...#fedora-qa , #qa, and #qa-team . So it looks like some maintenance might be in order. :D Is there any way to 'guide' people to use 'standard' tags?
