For example: I'm not sure if you understood what I meant with workgroups :) I dont suggest workgroups which decide whether a thread is off track or not, instead I suggest workgroups to discuss the topic of the thread in a smaller group with everyone who is interested and present the results of the discussion afterwards to the foundation list. We have done this in another foundation (way smaller, I admit), because not everyone wanted to participate at every discussion. > > * Private emails to the troublemakers, encouraging them to realize the > damaging effects they are having. > * Stop tolerating threads going off-topic.

Anyways, I agree with you that there is immediate action needed! -Felix _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
