As a part of reducing fragmentation and consolidating Ansible discussion platforms effort, we’d like to prioritize the Forum across the collections under the ansible-collections organization.
A large portion of the collections in the org is included in the Ansible package.
The communication is very important for the overall user/contributor experience around the collections and Ansible in general, therefore, it’s important to have the Forum, as our default platform, easily accessible for users/contributors from collection docs.
While working on improving such information in a few collections and the project template, we developed a Communication section template for README.
You can see the example of applying the template to the community.network collection README file in the pull request.
The template:
- Simplifies things; we tried to make it minimalist and concise.
- Emphasizes the Forum.
- Removes general Matrix information (collections still can refer to their specific channels if they actively use them, but we’d encourage them to make an emphasis on the Forum as a default place for discussions).
What’s your opinion on applying this template to all collections under the ansible-collections org?
