+1 For example: release early, and release often. Are you working on a flyer? show us the draft. Put it in a place people can get it and submit edits. Setup some simple system for people to submit an edited copy. > What I mean with this? You are working on Product specs? That's > great, thanks for it, but let this know to the community, +1 Indeed. Another aspect of this is just communicating with the community. How is the community going to know you're working on specs if you don't tell them, and tell them often? I didn't know anyone was working on product specs. Or that it was an important issue. It's not enough to just put a list of to-dos on the web. One should be intentional and active about seeking help. And also demonstrate that contributions are welcome and appreciated. If these things don't happen, then of course you won't get any volunteers. What would you expect? > You (as the lead, co-lead) should show the people, that things are > moving, even if they are moving slowly, but you should show that the > project is about real work and not about long threads without any > consequent work. +1 Another good point. Even if you're working very hard on something. If you don't communicate, then it looks like you're doing nothing. > These things are discouraging people and we should remove all these > bad things and open everything as much as possible. +1 > I know that it's > not easy, there is no short time motivation, but for the long run, > it has long list of benefits and probably more volunteers. +1 In my experience that is correct. When I work on something, and I try to engage the community about it, I always get responses from people who want to join in. > But don't call it 'experiment' and do this on regular basis, with > everything even if you know what's the current status. +1 Cheers, -- Daniel Carrera | I don't want it perfect, Join OOoAuthors today! | I want it Tuesday. http://oooauthors.org | --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
