From Fedora Project Wiki

Background

Original this question -> https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/127550/another-its-very-much-disappointing/ and another who has been deleted by the user.

mattdm fedora project lider talk that the development is not as fast as he spect and he is review to migrate to this site -> https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/.

that's why he is interested into moving us to different, modern, and maintained software, askbot is basically a "done as it is" project.

mattdm said that the council had agreed that we could have a separate discourse instance for user-end troubleshooting (i.e., Ask Fedora)

We propose the following:

  1. We find out when we can have the instance. Let's say it's on date X
  2. On date X, we start setting it up, Admins/Mod/Leader :
               *  Admin (Askfedora Administrator)
               *  Developer (N/A)
               *  Moderator (New Role are assigned by hand, AskFedora Moderator)
               *  Staff any kind of admin/mod (Fedora Project Lider)
               *  Trust Level 4 — Leader 
               *  Trust Level 3 — Regular
               *  Trust Level 2 — Member
               *  Trust Level 1 — Basic
               *  Trust Level 0 — New
  1. Guidelines. (How to use the Site, Coc, etc) -> #104
  2. Common tasks Knows as "Guideline" questions: will have to be copied from askbot manually
  3. Install plug-ins : https://payments.discourse.org/plugins (install it by default)
                        * Basic Included with all hosting plans
                               * Akismet
                               * Chat Integration
                               * Solved 
                        * Advanced Included with Business and Enterprise hosting plans
                               * Data Explorer
                               * Staff Notes
                               * Topic Voting
                               * Checklist

Note : Karma/Reputation Point : deals with Badges, https://github.com/merit-gem/merit, this is a feature -> https://meta.discourse.org/t/what-is-the-reason-to-not-use-reputation-points/32961, The problem with customizing plug-ins is the owner have to deals with it to keep it updated to every discourse release.
  1. Request hosting to install necessary plugins if apply
  2. Check where askfedora has been mentioned and update information/links where needed
  3. Enable languages that we can solicit moderators/admins for
This is a tip
We can chroot a Moderator to a specific Category(Language), This mean we can have a moderator assigned to a specific Language whit this Plug-in without restrict a moderator’s powers to specific categories.-> https://meta.discourse.org/t/moderator-extension/67305
  1. We (core team) test the setup for a week
  2. If tests pass:
       ## Transition ask.fp.o (the URL) to discourse
       ## Turn off askbot
       ## Announce discourse
               ##  Announce to community first
               ##  Announce publicly the week after (or so)
