Ah, see, this is a great example of a tangential subthread.... I'm still trying to figure out the best approach to one issue with tags since we merged in Ask Fedora. Tags span across categories, including tag watches (that is, subscriptions). This means there's no way to subscribe to notifications for, e.g., #server in Project Discussion and _not_ to those in Ask. Ask can be kind of firehose of end-user queries, I want to make sure we have that option. So, there is #server-wg (which we're probably going to rename to #server-devel to be less obtuse) for that. These "team" tags can only be used in the Project Discussion category (and Announcements). For qa, that's #qa-team. Then, there are some things that are tagged #fedora-qa in Ask. "fedora-qa" is not particularly consistent, but #qa alone is kind of ambiguous and would get misused. As it was, #qa was set up as a synonym of #qa-team -- that's unnecessary and I've removed it. Overall, tags in Ask are more of a wild territory. We discussed and have some general consensus on how they should be used: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-should-we-use-tags-in-the-ask-fedora-category/45221 and I do a kind of lackadaisical periodic curation. (Tags can be created by anyone with a certain forum trust level, which scales with participation. But they can only be edited and removed by admins.) (Although actually the emails triggered by notifications _do_ include `X-Discourse-Tags` and `X-Discourse-Category` headers, so if that's the your primary way of interacting, you _can_ do something with them. But it doesn't apply to on-site notifications.) -- Matthew Miller <mat...@fedoraproject.org> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
