Appoint moderators/community managers for the discussion spaces
We have a few spaces for the community :
- The Funkwhale Community and rooms on Matrix.org (https://riot.im/app/#/group/+funkwhale:matrix.org)
- The Gitlab group and projects (https://code.eliotberriot.com/funkwhale)
- Mastodon's Funkwhale account (https://mastodon.eliotberriot.com/@funkwhale)
In the future, a dedicated forum or long-lived discussion space could also be set-up.
There is no real community management and moderation position right now: I'm doing most of it, and some people also answer newcomers on the Matrix rooms. Having one or more dedicated people for this task would help considerably to:
- Ensure everyone is given a warm welcome
- Redirect users to the proper rooms/documentation/repositories for their questions
- Adress possible CoC violations, if needed (see #1 (closed))
This is not necessarily a really time-consuming job, given the small size of the community, but this would really help reducing the load (and the power that goes with it) on me.
