The Online Community Working Group focuses on improving how the Django community interacts across online platforms. The goal is to ensure community spaces are welcoming, helpful, and easy to navigate.
Areas of focus include:
- Moderation and community guidelines
- Improvements to discussion spaces
- Support for new contributors
- Visibility of community resources
- Tooling or process improvements
Proposals, questions, and suggestions are welcome. Anyone interested in an idea is encouraged to join the discussion or help move it forward, subject to platform permissions.
Proposals are tracked in the project board and reviewed periodically. See below for more details.
This repository is a place to collect, discuss, and track ideas that improve Django's online community spaces such as the Forum and the Discord server.
The goal is to hold issues and discussion related to:
- Online community experience in the various platforms
- Moderation workflows, community tools, documentation, or support
- Suggestions that help moderators, admins, and participants
- Work items the WG may take on or coordinate with community members
A project board tracks these ideas, similar in spirit to the Steering Council's new-features project board, but focused on community spaces.
- Open an issue
- Add any detail that helps explain the problem or suggestion.
- Feel free to share the issue on the Forum or Discord to gather input.
Ideas do not need to be fully formed. Small suggestions are welcome.
Issues are reviewed periodically. Items may move across phases such as:
- New/Untriaged
- Discussion, research, or feedback needed
- Owner required
- Ready for implementation
- In progress
- Review required or Board input required
- Completed
Some ideas can be addressed directly within the Working Group, while others may require DSF Board approval or coordination with platform admins.
The Working Group charter is available in the DSF working groups repository
Quarterly meeting agendas and minutes are stored in the meetings directory directory.
