Description

Mike, here are some ideas to improve the user support aspect of the subreddit. We can discuss how to implement them sometimes (I have almost no idea of reddit features/customization, yet).

1. Design/fill sidebar to provide relevant and useful information.
-current fresh/still versions,
-where to get help (roughly what's on the Community Support page, link to BZ should also be included),
-how to get involved, with links to individual areas.

Good example: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox

2. Have stickied posts of upcoming/ongoing important events (at least that are important for users), updated with news regularly.
Let's say, major releases, starting from beta 1 until a bit after release (timeline, interesting features, test phases).
Or the next "Month of LibreOffice" event.

While I wouldn't expect too much discussion going on in those threads (it's a tiny subreddit), reddit would be a great place for people who aren't enthusiastic enough to jump into IRC/BZ/ML, but are interested in some aspects of how LibreOffice is coming along.

These are good ideas, thanks! I'm quite busy with post-conference tasks at the moment but hopefully I'll have a chance to look next week (or the one after).

Or if you have the time to make me and Aron mods, it would be great.

OK, I've invited you both to become moderators!

OK, done some work on this:

  • Updated and split up the sidebar with downloads to the latest fresh and still releases
  • Added Get help, Get involved and Support LibreOffice sections to the sidebar
  • CSS tweaks: light border around sidebar and light line between posts

There's nothing worth making a sticky about at the moment, but I'll do it for the community video I'm working on, the next Month of LibreOffice, and the first Alpha of LO 5.3 (due in October)

This has pretty much been implemented now, and we have the sticky posts being used (I'll keep updating them), so closing this ticket now.
