The nearest thing I know to what I envision is the karma/moderation model of http://slashdot.org/ . But *phpBB3* does not seem support such sorts of features. I am still trying to understand it's structure to see if it is reasonable to try to add them. the more easy to endure will be the task and the more happy > will be Mageia end users. > > This team work and the quality of packagers work (iow the distro) imho > will be the best assets of Mageia to conquer the world :o) (i'm > borrowing Goom's "clown nose") > > Yes, definitly. I think we must try to find ways/structures that help make these tasks enjoyable. The guiding principle beeing : most people enjoy beeing helpfull within their abilities when they feel like it. So we have to give them (not only those formally member of the team) the tools and permissions adapted to their level of competence. I mostly agree with all you wrote, but am too tired to do further comments at this moment. Thanks -- Frederic
