We have many routine tasks that need to be performed during a release cycle and even during ordinarily operation of our website and other public-facing services. In many cases a given task is well-understood and many members of the project understand how to do it. For example, moderating the mailing lists. In other areas we might only have a single person who really understands how to do a task. We also have many volunteers, signing up on the mailing list and asking how to help, on nearly a daily basis. There should be a way that we can more clearly identify what the routine tasks are, who knows how to do them, who wants to learn how to do them, and who is willing to mentor or teach others how to get started. So I've started the following wiki page to track some of the most common tasks in the project: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OOOUSERS/Skills,+Resources+and+Mentors Feel free to insert additional tasks, or to add your name as an expert, mentor or someone who wants to learn. (Of course there are many other routine tasks performed by Apache Infra and not listed here. I'm focused on the tasks that are owned by the AOO project) This might also help is identify areas where we are currently dependent on a single person and want to train a backup, to cover for holidays, etc. Regards, -Rob - To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org I think this is lovely idea but I'm a bit confused over what you mean by Learning Resources -- are you thinking people, or web resources or ??? I was thinking of web resources. So overall the page lists tasks and skills, and also the resources needed to learn how to perform those tasks: web resources and experts/mentors in the project. -Rob Thanks. -- - MzK Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities.

Maybe we should move this to MWiki and avoid the hassle. -- Sent from my Nokia N900 On Tue Oct 1 00:14:21 2013 Rainer Bielefeld rainerbielefeld_ooo...@bielefeldundbuss.de wrote: Tal Daniel schrieb: But I couldn't edit the wiki page (I'm logged in to as Talchu).

I can't remember where it was, but because of the other comments here I think it's not a problem with my memory, but simply the edit link is invisible for users with low permission level. Can you send a screenshot showing where the Click for Edit function should be visible (or attach it in a new Bug for this issue)?

There were some changes made to the ACL to prevent accidental changes to the release notes. But the impact of the ACL change was supposed to be limited to the release notes.
