I think we both agree, this is not a concept we want to push on
newcomers. My thinking, as you will see below, is that as a reviewer
becomes more advanced and shows signs of sticking with the project, we
start introducing them to new review techniques. Kind of a teaching
process.
Yes, I think we agree.
I thought about this some in the last 12 hours and I think that you
don't really appreciate the difference until you are an
author/maintainer and have to actually go through someone else's changes.
It's possible. But I /do/ mantain a few chapters :-) But I see your
point that I've done more reviewing than maintaining so that changes my
perspective.
If we don't have a formalized mentoring process, then maybe we could
have a document somewhere for the "advanced members".
I have an idea:
1) On the Contributor Resources folder, add a page explaining the
difference between notes and comments.
2) In the contributing page:
http://oooauthors.org/en/authors/userguide2/contribute
Add a section at the bottom titled "Tips for advanced members".
3) In it, put a link to the page on notes vs comments.
If you like this idea, I'll happily contribute another tip. I'll add the
instructions on labeling images (I sent it to the list in response to a
comment from Jean).
Off topic: Check out my new sig! :-)
Cheers,
Daniel.
