Hi All, I think both approaches can work.
Certainly, we want to encourage new users to be more active, and this can be accomplished through online facilitation, a friendly skype chat, an email, or if you're even close by, meeting for a coffee or tea and chatting wiki/collaborative stuff. The "mechanical' piece is really just that - when the reporting scripts / measurements were designated within the wiki, that was what was identified. I don't know by whom, but I'm guessing Wayne. Perhaps we can get around the 'arbitrariness' by having degrees of activity....the mediawiki software does the measurements in the background automatically, and the user feels supported and encouraged, and can see the path to greater productivity and involvement without the pressure. - Randy On Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 3:02 AM, Phil Bartle <[email protected]> wrote: > > I feel uncomfortable with the >100 edits.
