Just FYI, right now I'm the only one administrating *this* group with some help recently from Unixmechanic. I said many times that this group receive a good amount of spam and off topics (like invitation to linkedin or invitation to a demonstration for ultras!!). This is the only reason that some messages get delayed. Because there is no enough people managing this group. There are some trusted members who are set to send their messages right away, and there are others who abuse it and must be added to moderation queue. New members are also added to the moderation queue.
So I'm making a call again: if you can help in this PLEASE contact me to add you as a manager. I've also opened this right now: https://www.facebook.com/OpenEgypt and found many spammy posts by admins again. Tried to remove them all and anyone willing to manage this page: please let me know. Few years ago! we started something on the website but couldn't continue mainly because we needed to install a theme on the website. Since Mekkawy refused to give us an FTP access to the server, installing and trying themes was a big hassle. If there is no visible strategy on what we need to do and place on the website then I guess it's going to be a waste of time again. Do we want to make it like a blog about our info? Do we want it to be a forum? do we want it as just an interface for whoever want to contact us and see who we are? Of course a wiki is a +1 but do you think a wiki is just enough? do we need at least a homepage and a blog with latest announcements and contact us? -- AMahdy AbdElAziz http://www.AMahdy.net On Sun, Apr 7, 2013 at 4:29 PM, Mostafa Hussein <[email protected]> wrote: > Mohamed, > > I don't know what scrum or kanban are.
