Riffing on these, a Mozilla employee recently said to me something like "I know not to rely on volunteers" when I apologized for taking a long time with something I'd said I would do. This might not be the exact wording he used, but IMO this is exactly wrong. Of course you can't manage volunteers quite the way you can manage employees whose work you oversee, but I would personally feel better if Mozillians of all stripes expected me to actually do things I said I'd do, and at least follow up if I don't. And I expect that would go for a lot of the other volunteers who are (only) intrinsically motivated.
