Another idea we discussed at this week's standup was to direct people to Discourse, but also file a GitLab issue in the background. I put some thoughts down on this issue: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/documentation/initiatives/-/issues/9 The thought behind using Discourse is that it's better if people are asking questions that the docs don't answer, like "I can't figure out my sound settings so people can hear me in this meeting and the docs aren't helping." So, send those to Discourse so people can get answers, but then also file a GitLab issue in the background so we know there's something we need to improve about the docs. But, sending people to Discourse when they're actually reporting a typo, for example, isn't great. It'll just make noise on Discourse. Maybe three links? * Ask a question [Discourse with GitLab background magic] * Report an error [GitLab issue] * Edit this page [GitLab code] I'm hesitant to add too much cognitive overhead tho. As for where to file issues, if we don't want to always send them straight to individual components, we could always create a project under our team space in GitLab, like Teams/Documentation/Feedback. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
