Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Chapter reports WMNL
I don't see a reason for this tone, and I think that everyone who is interested in the reports will easily find them.

Please always include the chapter report in your email and not just a link. Lodewijk already asked this countless times. Why do you insist on just sending links?

The problem is, it's hard to know if you are interested in the report without having any idea what it contains. A short summary, or at least a list of contents, helps you decide whether to click on the link or not.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Chapter reports WMNL
I agree with Thomas, I have to admit :) Having a brief in summary of what links comprise of is common practice and would be fabulous! Every second counts in this world of mass stimulation and information. :) Sarah Sent from my iPhone On Jan 6, 2013, at 3:08 PM, Thomas Dalton thomas.dal...@gmail.com wrote: On Jan 6, 2013 11:06 PM, Ziko van Dijk vand...@wmnederland.nl wrote: I don't see a reason for this tone, and I think that everyone who is interested in the reports will easily find them.

I agree as well. At least at short list of the main topics would help a lot.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Chapter reports WMNL
(just for the record: I also asked this offlist to Ziko, and did not coordinate this with others) I of course agree with Maarten (and while direct, his tone is imho not inappropriate). A summary would be fine too, although I suspect that just copypasting is actually less work than typing a summary. My main reason for asking to put it in the email, is that I quite often save this kind of reports until a time that I'm a train etc. Then there is no way I can go to meta. It is a little effort (if any), and you make it easier for a number of people. By the way, I must say I like the short style and consistent pace of the Dutch reports - a compliment should be made where appropriate!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimedia Announcements] Chapter reports WMNL
Hello, Rather the other way round, I'd question the sending of reports to lists, with regard to the information overload we get. If someone really is interested in the activities of a chapter, he or she can go to the chapter reports on Meta, and has a list of reports there. A short summary of the report would even create more work for the chapter. I really don't see the problem here. Kind regards Ziko 2013/1/7 Cornelius Kibelka jckibe...@gmail.com: I agree as well.

Kind regards Ziko You should also consider that people like to read on the go, that is on a mobile device and whilst Meta has the mobile site enabled, email often works best for many people. Think of it this way: if someone is going to make the effort to open an email to read its contents after looking at the subject line, then they'd presumably want to know more information - even if just a snippet as suggested previously - *in that email* rather than having to go elsewhere to find it. -- Thehelpfulone http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Thehelpfulone ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
