Re: Editorial Calendar for the project Blog
Hi, Gavin has created accounts for Jürgen and Marcus and set you both for Author permission. I have upgraded Marcus to Admin role. Since Andy Brown has left for now, I put him at Limited role, if he returns then we can restore Admin if he would like. Current Admins are Marcus and Dave. Current Authors are Dennis, Rob, Raphael, Khirano, Christian Lippka, and the Admins. Current Limiteds are Andy Brown.

RE: Editorial Calendar for the project Blog
Thanks Dave, That clears up a lot. I see no reason to have the limited rights case. The practice is to post-date the blog entry and allow it to be reviewed before it surfaces, so that should work fine for all authors. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Dave Fisher [mailto:dave2w...@comcast.net] Sent: Thursday, September 29, 2011 18:07 To: ooo-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Editorial Calendar for the project Blog On Sep 29, 2011, at 5:24 PM, Dennis E.

Typically volunteers don't want to be tired to a schedule. An editorial calendar is schedule for publishing the blog posts, not a schedule for writing them. An author can write the post anytime up to 3 days before the publication date (to allow for lazy consensus). Since we have dates set out up to a year in advance, this gives volunteers a large range of dates to play with. But if a volunteer feels they cannot be tied to a schedule that amounts to any time you feel like it within the next year, then I'm happy to extend the calendar to two years ;-) I'd suggest that a better approach is to just encourage people to write stuff as and when they can.

Several of the other blogs there have all comments moderated, with small groups of volunteers periodically moderating through anything useful, and deleting or spamming the rest. - Shane
