Hi Hinrich,

We are not talking about the same page. In fact the english version gave me the hint what to do. The german page http://oooauthors.org/de/ did not. It has been changed as Marko pointed out.


Okay, good  :-)
And I'm glad the site is getting better.


Yes, naturally. Most newcomers are hesitant, and it's important to make the process easy and make them feel welcome.


An example would have been helpful, the email of somebody else, who did this before, just to lower the hurdle.


I don't understand this part.  :(


I'm not sure I understand this. Could you elaborate? How would we used a structured feedback form in this project? (writing documentation).


The origin of this idea is a marketing approach: Do it with one single click, instead of asking three times for a permission. Use a given form to introduce yourself:
I want ... as my username
I am an OpenOffice.org developer     No/Yes since
I am an OpenOffice.org user        No/Yes since
I have experience in teaching OpenOffice.org     No/Yes since
My special application is ( )writer ( )draw ( )math ...
I am experienced in producing screenshots No/Yes
My professional background is......
I would mostly work in this language...
I would appreciate to have a tutor, please name me one
Here is my further comment:


But we don't currently ask any of these except for the username. Do you think we need to ask those other questions?

Another "complication" here is that I'm not really an expert in Plone. I wouldn't know how to add those questions to a form and make them do something useful. Maybe Marko does. But in any event, do you think it's important that the potential volunteer answer those questions?

Cheers,
Daniel.

Hi Daniel, hi Hinrich,
@Daniel We can do this in plone like we want. There are several ways to create such a form.

In my mind we should not ask to many question on the first contact mail.
I'm a sysadmin and I know that many people don't want to tell to much about their personal informations in a web-form. See this: You have to give a lot of informations about Youself and Your special interesst and You dont know how to whom and so on... Many people think that this informations will be use for marketing ... and go away! This is especially what I do in this case ;-) , if I have to give a lot of informations in order to get something in the net and many other people will do the same!

Cheers Marko
