## PROPOSALS - DISCUSS AND VOTE! 🗳️

[Oranod](https://matrix.to/#/@orandon:ansible.im) said

> Have you ever noticed that the [ecosystem page](https://docs.ansible.com/ecosystem.html) on the docsite does not feature many of the fantastic community projects that are available to help with Ansible automation? We have too. And the reason comes down to lack of clearly defined inclusion criteria for projects.
>
> We'd invite you to help us agree on and define "table stakes" for projects to be included on the ecosystem page. An obvious criteria, for example, is that projects should have an OSI-approved license. But what else should we consider? If you have an opinion, let us hear your voice. Please [join us in our forum discussion](https://forum.ansible.com/t/table-stakes-for-including-projects-on-the-ecosystem-page/4341) and tell us what you think.

[mariolenz](https://matrix.to/#/@mariolenz:matrix.org) said

> There is a [vote](https://forum.ansible.com/t/4204/3) on making it easier to remove officially unmaintained collections from Ansible, and to remove them faster. Please vote on what you think about this!

## HELP WANTED 🙏

[Oranod](https://matrix.to/#/@orandon:ansible.im) shared

> ### Send us your "see also" suggestions for module docs.
>
> The Ansible community team at Red Hat gathered lots of feedback at this year's CfgMgmtCamp 2024. One of those things was to expand the use of the “See also” section in module documentation. This is an often under-used, but very useful, section that can group related modules that build and expand on each other’s functionality and help users find the right module to achieve their goals.
>
> We thought it might be fun, and interesting, to put a call to action out and ask the community what modules could form a “See also” section. If you have ideas for modules that have similar functionality or are related in some way, please let us know. Visit us on the forum and add your suggestion to our ["Call to action" thread](https://forum.ansible.com/t/call-to-action-send-us-your-see-also-suggestions/4093). We can then try and work with the collection owners to update their documentation.
