Hi Barbara, Mike, Paul, others Well, here is the opinion part.
(opinion, since I'm not raising my hand to do the work - deleting at *this* point is a reasonable thing to do with this post therefore) I've never tried to compare how things are done at the web forum and on the ML - but I will make this an exception. There is a reasonable percentage of the 'solution providers' and moderators at the forum for whom that is their primary (or only) activity within the OO.o community. ML and web forum - both are just a communication channel and share some attributes with all communication channels, human discourse or digital. They are real time, interrupt driven and when 'events' happen that need servicing there is a finite time frame in which it needs to be finished, else the actual exchange rate in the channel suffers. - Here is the advice section - (even more suspect regarding usefulness) Relax - It isn't really broken. The real problem *was* the same problem that plagues many things here, lack of human resources. What happens then is that it becomes much to easy for the people that are willing to put in the time, to do the work, to become over extended, that's really IMO all it was. For many things that fact of life can be accepted. This wasn't one of them. Paul, Barbara, Mike, NoOp, other names, you all know them, are the folks that need to be empowered to handle the 'events'. How many of you, I don't know, talk with the folks that run the other language MLs and see what's working there - figure that traffic is going to scale up over time - and you'll know the answer. Then it just comes down to trust - if we (OO.o) can't trust you folks enough to give what access rights you need to actually perform the task we are asking you to do - we all have a problem. and with that I'll get out of the kitchen, Drew --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
