I've mentioned it before; I've noticed that it would crash when i ran it. (I don't know why because i haven't had any time (damn that clock!) to debug it.) I also believe there are some passwords used by the bot to post the logs on the website, codes which obviously are not in the repository. Because of this only board members can run it, so maybe we could work around this somehow? Assign some people who are allowed to run the bot, but who aren't, necessarily board members? > - If any discussions are made or decisions are reached in private > conversations in the channel, > there's no follow up either in Mail or in the Wiki > - There's been a lack of project architecture/design evolution since about > the time I started I've tried to start up some parts of the Wiki in the past (hoping that other people would join in and help out), but for some reason i seemed be the only one working on the documentation... (for the most part anyway) So I'm not too surprised that during my absence nothing changed ...at all If anyone has any suggestions on how to improve this situation; I'm all ears! It really seems as if nobody actually wants to work on documentation/design.. everybody agrees that it should be there, but nobody (at least nobody with the actual in-depth knowledge) is willing to start writing it. And without a design, it's not really clear what needs to be done. So it's something of a chicken and egg thing. There won't be a deus ex machina, someone who'll join the project and drop an entire architecture design on our doorstep. We have to do it ourselves, and we have to start somewhere, and hopefully more talented people (such as yourself) will join in and help out. So i strongly suggest that everyone start writing their ideas/designs down on the Wiki! If some things are inaccurate on the Wiki, it can be discussed on the irc channel and modified accordingly. That way we can move forward instead of having these endless discussions about how we *should* have a design (instead of actually making one) > - There's no guidance whatsoever - communication turnaround is rather slow There is no clear leadership right now (not only due to absence), and no clear ownership of anything.

The mailing list was never really active, the majority of all the discussions have always been done on the IRC channel. Ofcourse not having any IRC logs makes this pretty bad. > P.S.: No I'm not interested in Board Membership. I just wanted to provide at > least a bit of guidance as was wished in some mails.

That's a shame because you're one of the people i would consider nominating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ SharpOS-Developers mailing list SharpOS-Developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sharpos-developers
