(I tend not to mind if users post dupes - gitlab and launchpad make it easy enough to mark bugs as dupes. I'd rather have that then deal with a user that incorrectly decides they have the same issue as an existing report, when they don't, and end up sidetracking analysis discussion with what is effectively just noise...) > Even for everybody else it obviously involves additional > effort. As I don't see a way to "solve" this (short of nuking or completely > disregarding the old tracker) Well, having a unified inbox on gitlab as you proposed may get us partway towards something like that. If we accept 0.92 bugs in gitlab (for 0.92.4 and newer) then we can be more aggressive at discouraging bug filing on launchpad - we can scrub all mention of it and all links to it from all our public pages.

Because users wouldn't > be reporting bugs for 0.92.3 or older, after 0.92.4 is released, would they? Not all users will know to install 0.92.4 immediately; Linux users will tend to upgrade when their distro upgrades them, and that could be some months out. So we can expect many users will be on 0.92.3 even after 0.92.4 is out, and may need encouragement to re-test on the newer version. It's questionable that the developers will have much interest in working on 0.92.4 bug reports, but they'll certainly have little interest in bugs only affecting 0.92.3 or older.

At the Inkscape Hackfest it was brought up that there is a very active and healthy community in Indonesia, and we really wanted to get in contact with you, so I am really happy you've joined us here! Adding a link to your website from ours is certainly doable - I've added you to the Community > Around the Internet page. But I wonder if there's other things we can do to tie Indonesia into the larger community more strongly? Can you tell us more about your group and its activities? Do you get together in person very often? How do the community members use Inkscape, and do any of you tinker with code? Do members participate in the official (English) irc/mailinglists/forums/facebook/etc.? Would it be beneficial for the community to have official Inkscape Indonesian-language discussion channels? Thanks again for connecting, looking forward to more discussion.

"A function that it can maintain" is definitely true. A UX team would be notably different from, say, the Docs or Vectors team, in that it is (ideally) inward facing rather than outward facing. Documentation and marketing have essentially stand-alone output, with their input being into our development efforts. A UX team operates in the reverse direction, so will require setting up tighter coordination. So a principle goal for setting up a UX team would be working out a good strategy for getting development done on the changes they identify. I have some further ideas here on how to relate the team to our development roadmap, and would be happy to brainstorm with anyone interested in getting this ux team up and running.

Seems that a general shoutout to the dev's mailing list is not a successful road. A trick I've used successfully in the past is to watch the IRC channel or mailing list for someone asking a lot of basic dev questions, and/or complaining about the lack of intro user documentation, and then pounce on them. :-) Another approach with this particular document is to identify some of the questions we don't currently answer adequately, and pose them to the existing developers, and capture their answers. If you find someone who is particularly helpful at answering questions, then kindly ask them to also proofread the existing docs and identify things that are no longer current. In general, often the problem is the people who have the time and interest in writing these docs don't know enough to be comfortable volunteering to write them. And those who do know the info, no longer need the docs, and are more interested in putting their knowledge to use. But if you can find some way to pit one off against the other, useful docs can often be emitted as a byproduct.
