@davelab6 Thanks for pointing that out! What did you find useful in that guide? How can it be applied here?

We've had this repo for almost two years. There's been minimal discussion
and minimal funding action.

I wouldn't say this is the fault of the repo. I'd say it's poor sign posting. Perhaps I am wrong. There may not be all that many funding opportunities for OSD.

However, we have too many repos (at present) and people feel overwhelmed and
confused where to talk about what and how thus I'm trying to reduce this f
actor of OSD.

Can you point to where people have stated this? Could we build a directory to help people navigate the repos? Repos are not that different from folders, and it ought to be possible to list them in a way that makes it easy what to talk about, where. Reducing repos doesn't necessarily solve this issue, although I agree that it is one solution.

I am not sure that we're not conflating poor flow with too many repos, just like a website with many pages but no page listing or navigation headers.

If we want to have a few topic specific repos for discussions only
with criteria like you suggest, OK, maybe that will work better. I dunno?!?

Code could go here too! What we just need is a clear way of showing what each page is. Right now, some repos are on the website, some are (AFAIK), and it's difficult to know which. (I may be wrong here)

From personal feedback I've received from people in the OSD organization I think the primary issue is that they automatically get added to a new repo and get all the notifications for it unless they remove unwatch the repo.

@simonv3 because people have also to "Unsubscribe" if are already subscribed to a discussion.

@equinusocio yeah exactly - if we create repositories all over the place people get overloaded with notifications. That's part of the problem with the multiple repositories thing :/
