please, can we use this as an example. we need badly to keep peoples with us. People come on the wiki, edit some pages and go. how can we glue then to openSUSE :-) * we can't pay them, too expensive and beyond the open philosophy :-) * we can't do nothing, because most of them wont stay and between the two? some kind of reward? giving an opensuse.org mail could be one step reward. Let any sysop the opportunity to ask a user: I see you have made some work on opensuse, would you mind to have such address? To be written as "staff member" on a blocked page (that is a bit more official than the wiki team page) could be made at the same time. and any such people should be asked to choose a particular task: edit/maintain some part of the wiki (some category, for example), giving sometime on a Linux forum with the opensuse mail as signature... then we could add some "time" reward: may be the one staff member for 6 month can have a chocolate medal :-) or a SUSE pin, or better a unexpected gift as you did for beta testers > Impatientness is a good motivation :) some times. I was asked to be sysop in November and the wiki opened in february. I was near to give up and take work elsewhere. Voluteers can find work very easily, you know :-) however, moral rewards are the betters. simply a personal message from a sysop can be rewarding :-) thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
