  • Re: Monthly FAQ for Debian-user mailing list (last modified 20250404)

    From Jonathan Dowland@21:1/5 to All on Thu May 1 13:40:01 2025
    Thanks Andrew for continuing to send the Monthly FAQ.

    I'd like to request you make it clearer if/how people can contribute to
    the evolution of the FAQ text. There's nothing in it as to how to do
    that. I humbly suggest you maintain the text in a public VCS or a page
    on the Debian Wiki.

    This would hopefully support a dialogue between yourself and regulars on
    the list; I have noticed that questions and replies to the FAQ posting
    in prior months have gone unanswered.


    Best wishes,

    Hi Jon

    https://salsa.debian.org/community-team/public-docs is a start and I've uploaded the FAQ from 20250404 since there have been no changes since.

    Apologies to all: I uploaded half an hour early by mistake, so the FAQ
    appears in April's monthly mails on the web-interface.
    I can repost it again here if really necessary.

    This would hopefully support a dialogue between yourself and regulars on the list; I have noticed that questions and replies to the FAQ posting in prior months have gone unanswered.


    Grateful if you could perhaps point me to these - maybe off-list to spare everyone's inboxes? - and I'll deal with them as you remind me.

    Thanks for everyone's patience,

    All the very best to all,

    Andy Cater
