From my years of using Fedora, my experience is that the fedoraforum.org attracts and
keeps more Fedoraians (Fedora users), than any other site or URL
It would be good to have some section within the
Fedoraforum.org to post interesting
activities or links to topics that are on the Fedora Web site. (eg getting Fedora,
New developments re Rawhide, etc). There could be a daily link from the forum to Fedora
Magazine, with a topic title posting and small writeup.

I often want to send people to Join Fedora, to, you know, Join Fedora. :)
But I'm actually a little confused where to start.
Héctor is re-doing
https://whatcanidoforfedora.org/, and that's going to be
nice, but I don't think it's ready and also I don't necessarily think
it's
the right path for everyone.
The first google hit that comes up is
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join,
but ... that's pretty old, not very well maintained, and doesn't really
represent current activities in the project very well. Plus, I do not want
to send new folks into the minefield that is the wiki right away.
Also, "join.fedoraproject.org" currently links there.
Then, there's this:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-join/
which I _think_ is helpful, but I find somewhat confusing because it mixes
up the business of the Join SIG (that is, all the helpful people working to
provide a nice onboarding process) with the onboarding process itself.
That page points to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Welcome, which...
1. Is frighteningly bare-bones.
2. Has the "it's the wiki" problem again
3. Points to Telegram — I don't have a problem with that as a platform to
bring people on, but as a service outside of project control, shouldn't
be where we start. (If people are on and comfortable with Telegram, cool,
let's meet them there. But I don't want to give the impression that
signing up for telegram is a first step to
4. Also IRC; that's a temporary problem until we get
chat.fedoraproject.org
officially launched, though.
Anyway, in short, what's the link I should use for someone who wants to get
involved?
And, leading question: should we have a user-focused "Join Fedora" docs
section on
docs.fedoraproject.org that is separate from the Join SIG docs?
