Most people are non toxic in my city and in Wikipedia. Nathan's
point is correct - it won't change and WMF can't fix it.
Richard.
I think Rupert has a point. I would consider getting up at 5AM for a
general conversation but not to be bored.
More loose, fun would be good. I can't do the end of this month - will be
travelling.
Cheers, Richard.

Micru,
I think a lot of us care. I wish you well!
Some time ago I tried to put some thoughts around volunteering at the WMF.
I thought it needed to be better planed / managed.
I could not get enough interest to progress the conversation.

This thread (subject) looks like it could bring lots of different thoughts,
ideas, suggestions, etc.
Please (Please, Please) --- if your message is mainly on a new topic /

I don't see the contradiction. If a person volunteers to do a job and
the organisation accepts them; why wouldn't that be considered work?

Is there a listing of the volunteer positions which work for the

I can think of several areas people volunteer in: system operators,
software development, public relations, correspondence management
(OTRS), list moderation, event management, conflict resolution
I agree they are but I'm interested in other volunteers who may or may not be
editors.
