May I ask, what are the ideas that could be done to improve the said
situation?
Has there been thoughts about this last year?

Thanks,
Pierre

Yep, there has been. This was my proposal but we didn't have the
developer time to make it happen:

(Not that it is the perfect solution but maybe a good start)

Thanks! We're looking for tactical goals at this point in time. So
bringing up the examples that we included that you think are important are
good. I thnk I recall that mailing lists had a suggestion from you to
implement an alternate front-end to mailman archives that was forum-like.

Fedora Classroom, I think you've defined the problem well.

Hard getting started could use something more specific to work on.

One of the things that several audience members called out was that they
think having measurable indicators of a task's success or failure was
important. If a board member takes one of these on, they'll need to analyze
these and come up with those as well.
