Hi Francis,
Hi Keith,

Peter - I regret that my suggestion came across as wanting to "boss people
around". I was responding really to this comment earlier in the thread
Imho you have nothing to regret. In a conversation there are at least 2
people involved.
And it is very difficult to get a common understanding between people
who are
unknown to each other. Lets be stisfied that we have the same understanding.
Please take my apologies for my poor wording. I should have come up with
a better
approach to confirm or create consent. I have overshoot my goal.
Because all people who expressed interest expected they are told what
needs to be done where. They did not felt
comfortable to figure that out on their own.
All I meant was that a solution could be to provide such people with
concrete suggestions of what to do first. Of course that can take into
account their interests, skill level and available time. I am sure lists of
possible contributions can be helpful for them to make a decision and it
would make sense to start with that. But the success rate of recruiting
using the self-directed approach has been very low. I do not understand why
providing the option for more guidance to those who want it is so
objectionable. I expect that many people joining a project feel lost and
would appreciate getting more direction at first. It would be natural for
them to become more independent after making a contribution or two.
I hope Keith will express his opinion on this.
Yes, I am also interested. Keith you still have concerns of sorts?
Or other comment. I whish to hear that too.
Of course anyone else is invited to participate!
All the best
Peter
