#166 Discuss with infra team about the wikiedit group
Closed: Fixed by alciregi. Opened by alciregi.

As discussed in the past.
We should inform infra team that we can take care of newcomers needing wiki edit grants?
The wikiedit FAS group can stay in place for other usages.

The related wiki page can be changed in order to address people on Fedora-welcome

I have this mail in my Draft folder. What do you think?


Hello!
As you can read here: https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-join-is-trying-a-new-people-focused-workflow-for-newcomers/
The Fedora Join SIG is experimenting a new way to help people become part of the community.

This workflow includes also a temporary FAS group if required or asked by the newcomer.

So we are here to inform you that you can easily address people asking for the "wikiedit" FAS group to Fedora Join. We can take care of that.
And, if you wish, you can modify the wiki accordingly [1]

Ah! And if you want to help, take a look to the Fedora Join communication channels [2]

Looks good. Just tweaked the language a bit:


Hello!

As you can read here[0], the Fedora Join SIG is experimenting a new way to help people become part of the community.

This workflow includes also a temporary FAS group if required or asked by the newcomer. Since this overlaps with the current "wikiedit" system, we were wondering if it'd make sense to retire it and send newcomers to the Fedora Join channels instead where they can speak to community members and take their time learning/exploring the community and it's projects.

It'll be one less responsibility for the infra team, and it'll help us channel folks to the new workflow.

Please let us know if this sounds OK and we'll edit the wiki page here accordingly [1].

We'll send out more posts announcing the new workflow to the community this week. If you have the cycles, please hang out in the Fedora Join channels[2].
