Yes, you can. When you volunteer for a position like that, you are making a commitment to put in the necessary work. The "we're just volunteers" excuse gets rolled out far too often around here. Volunteers that have made commitments to do a job have an obligation to do it. I want to be clear, I'm not saying the FDC haven't done their job - they seem to have considered the issues very well and the report is, at least, satisfactory. I'm just saying that being a volunteer isn't an excuse. We should make certain allowances for volunteers that we wouldn't make for staff (particularly, we have to be flexible - staff can be expected to be at their desks between 9am and 5pm, volunteers do their work whenever then get a spare moment), but we should still require that jobs are done well. If it turns out to be impossible to find volunteers willing and able to do a particular job well, then we need to re-think it. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l
