I'm just thinking back to a few years ago when this sort of discussion was much more common. Nothing happened so pretty well all those involved appear to have moved on to other things. Certainly my own anedotal encounters with anything to do with the web site was a) there was a massive technical barrier for anyone wanting to take part b) you could spend ages on something only to have it vetoed by the community manager. Even getting a wiki established took several years battle. Life is too short for battling with such bureaucracy and I doubt many volunteers are going to consider that a good use of their time. The solution is simply one of delegation. Give the marketing leads control over the front page of the web site. That is a simple decision but it requires trusting the marketing project leads - but why have them if they can't be trusted with some real influence? What does democracy mean in the project? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
