heh, topic is who is a maintainer so that he can discuss this point ?
Here's another approach : we can have an internal voting system. The note maintenance team will regularly have a look at the statistics and discuss the status of each new commers. We can for example set up a crontab that will send us some statistics when sending the weekly notes status.
Inactivity of a note maintainer will also be noted, if he's AFK for a month, this shouldn't affect his status, but if he seems to have give up with note moderation => not a note maintainer no more.
Basically, we need to set up the original team. What about the top 10 users ? Seems it can be a good start.
The first ten seems absolutely fine with me [the only one I don't know is "irc", and I was also unable to find him with the cvs user search, hm..].
Do you mean automatic reason mailing, like we have for bug reports, which would help you provide typical reasons quickly?
That's it, it will help us for two things :
- providing reasons quickly to the note submitter in case there's a mail that should be sent.
- giving _the_ reason why the note have been deleted. I sometimes see a good note, really usefull, getting deleted (randomly ?) by one of us without being integrated to the manual. It's sad :/ (I'm not thinking about someone particularly)
Initialy we though that users should be informed of the reson the note was deleted, but from a note maintainers position, it may also be good to see some reason for note removals...
When the text for these categories begin to mature, it will turn out what is needed, and what can be grouped to one...
I've tried to dissociate the whole stuff to be sure to cover all the situations (even if it's unpossible). Sure, we could merge "duplicated", "bogus" and "replying" into "trash", but this time, other note maintainers won't know exactly why the note was deleted and this can lead to some confusion/unneeded threads on php-notes.
I am not proposing any groupings, but IMHO it will turn out in the everyday work what is needed, and what is not...
I'm ready to help coding this new system if needed.
btw, is there a HOWTO for this?
There is no howto for website stuff.
who do I need to contact to have karma ?
IMHO group@ can give you Karma (or systems@ :). The note submission page is in phpweb cvs, the maintanance and note submission entry pages are in php-master-web cvs.
