contact links

[benoitc]

It's unclear from the contact page how to subscribe to the mailing-list. Maybe we can add a short description to it or at list links to subscribe/unsubscribe/post.

Also shouldn't we advertise the group chats?

[starbelly]

Yes I agree. I am hesitant about doing anything with the subscribe/unsubscribe etc until the new design is in prod as this is a particular area that has been worked on.

As for the group chats, yes.... we should replicate content from erlang.org and elixir-lang.org community pages to form our own. Likewise, we will be adding an endpoint for performing slack invites for erlang.slack.com that is related to this.

the mailing-list

Do you mean "the newsletter"? I was unaware that there was a mailing list.

@starbelly, is this issue updated? Because it seems mostly everything's taken care of, already.

[starbelly]

Yes, I think this is resolved by other commits and issues. @benoitc if you still feel something is missing please re-open or open more specific issues.

we discussed about it on a chat but right let’s be more specific there.

When subscribing to the « newsletter » in contact page it would be interesting to describe what kind of news are expected and their fréquence. also as some other site do we could add a way to unsubscribe to it from the website. That’s make things more friendly and let people know they can control such content. Does it makes sense?

as for the chats. We didn’t opened yet at that time the slack, but I was thinking to describe its existence there and in working groups page . This would help people to find each discussions more easily. What people think about it?

That makes sense and I agree. And reminds me of another issue we have, but I will open that one on infra around newsletters.

Right now we do the bare minimum, which is for every working group that has a slack channel there is a link that shows up on the working group page :

The rules for this link are as follows :

• If you are logged in and you have already requested a slack invite it is direct link to the slack (i.e., will open up in web browser or slack app and focus on the channel linked to)
• if you are logged in and you have not requested a slack invite, it links to /members/profile where you can request one
• if you are not logged in or you have not requested a slack invite it will redirect to you /slack-invite/erlef

I do agree we need more content around describing working groups, etc. and I believe #273 alludes to that problem.

This issue is disconnected from #273. The intent is about showing the status of a working group and allowing it. To communicate/show/collect their activity regularly for the members and people interested in the foundation. as it has been said recently at the Codebeam, working groups which handle most of the projects, are one of the main part of the foundation and I feel we should make them the main part of the website as well.

All in due time my friend, but yes, we want to empower working groups with the tools they need to add/change things within their group(s) and for the site. No disagreement there.
