#11627 [GitHub] Request for access to fedora-infra/asknot-ng
Closed: Fixed a year ago by ryanlerch. Opened a year ago by jflory7.

Describe what you would like us to do:

There is a pending backlog of issues and pull requests to the asknot-ng project on GitHub. I am requesting owner/maintainer rights of this repository to my GitHub account, jwflory. I am already a member of the fedora-infra GitHub organization.

I understand WCIFF is targeted for decommission due to no maintainers and a tech stack that the Fedora Infra team does not actively use. However, I still strongly believe that the function of this application has immense value. It is one that regular appears in the mindshare part of Fedora. I am not sure we ever perfected a workflow of community contribution around this tool. But I want to help change that.

Goals for my request could be as follows:

  1. Review the current stack, update dependencies, get it running in a container with the latest version of Fedora.
  2. See if the current deployment pipeline is salvageable or if we need to devise a new way to deploy the application.
    • If salvageable: Fix any easyfix bugs and get a new version deployed with some recent community changes.
    • If a new way is needed: Could explore using a static site generator like Hugo to recreate the app in a lighter-weight framework.
  3. Review backlog of pull requests from community. Merge where applicable, reject if they are too stale.
  4. Once the backlog is cleared, audit the current contribution process.
    • See how the contribution guidelines are currently documented. Understand contributor journey.
    • Make improvements based on the reflection on the contribution guidelines.
  5. Migrate project to GitLab to join other Fedora mindshare teams and be closer to the Websites & Apps Team on GitLab.

When do you need this to be done by? (2023-11-22)

Not urgent and I do not expect to start right away.
