New "general admin, security & privacy" category?

I’ve now closed the polls. Thanks everybody for your participation. I hope people are satisfied. Even if these where not your preferred ones.

Here’s what we’ll go with:

  • Category Name - All around Qubes
    (I’ll just leave here the notice that if many people are misunderstanding the title as in here we’ll have to go to the second option)

  • Category Icon - fa-mug-hot mug-hot (I guess as in “cafe”)

  • Category Color - yellow as no strong opposition arrived

  • Category Short Description - there seems to be some disagreement on the exact wording of this. My proposal (trying to harmonize and reduce the size) would be:

    Relevant but not specific to Qubes (security, privacy, software freedom, system administration, …). ← This is literally the already-decided criteria for inclusion.

    What do you think about this? I mean, we can tweak it later, but I’d say this should not delay the category launch further.

  • Inclusion criteria - relevant but not specific to Qubes OS

  • Inclusion examples - @Sven, do you think the following examples are fine / representative?

    • OpSec / Threat Modeling (security)
    • Is your browser fingerprint unique? (privacy)
    • Good books / presentations / tutorials about security / privacy / linux administration / …
    • How do I … on Debian/Fedora/Windows/…? (related to Qubes)
  • Exclusion criteria - relevant but not specific to Qubes OS

    • about Qubes (belong to other categories)
    • not relevant at all to Qubes OS use
    • harmful to community / violates CoC
    • politics / activism of any kind

    @Sven, I’ve tried to consolidate the proposed ones. See if you agree.

  • Exclusion examples - @sven do you think these are fine?

  • Category Moderator: @Sven

  • Joining criteria: forum members (trust level 2)

We’re pretty close to finally having this open! :slight_smile:
