On the left sidebar on the map you have two links Ratings and Comments. I have left a comment asking about how to add new wikis. Can you drop a line with the wikis you want to add? Regards. 2011/6/11 Juliana da Costa José julianadacostaj...@googlemail.com Wow, very interesting. But there are

[Foundation-l] Inviting some 'outsider candidates' into the movement in the way they wanted

2011-06-12 Thread Alec Conroy
A few candidates are what I might call 'outsider candidates' in that they weren't well known across projects before the election and thus may not be likely to win election to such a democratically-elected position-- but they seem to have quite a lot to offer us. If they are elected, we'll have

Finding ways to get people involved in the movement that wouldn't normally do so is definitely something we need to do (and are starting to do, through various schemes - for example, the Campus Ambassadors programme). Don't forget that we do already have routes onto the board (chapter selected and
