Hi everyone, I'll admit that I'm guilty of letting my section slide a bit this past cycle. Luckily enough, it's a section that doesn't change very much. I bit off more than I could chew, and time flew by faster than I expected.
That being said, I'd like to make a suggestion for the upcoming cycles. The suggestion is to have bi-weekly status updates starting at the beginning of the cycle. Mainly something along the lines of "These sections are being actively worked on." "These sections haven't been worked on in the past two weeks." "These are the sections that are still available to be worked on." And more importantly "Here's where we are in the schedule, and here's the amount of time until the next milestone." (I could have used the last one, because I kept thinking "Oh I've got plenty of time." and the next thing I knew, Hannie was emailing us about the end of the author phase.) You could also put a note in saying something along the lines of "If you've completed your section, and have a bit of free time, please take a look at one of the available sections." Along these lines, we might want to get a bit more detailed in the milestones and/or emails. Something like by week 2 or 3, you should have the components installed and working, and have downloaded the branch(es). By weeks 4 or 5, you should have started looking at your sections, and made minor changes (fixing obvious errors, removing things that we know won't be there anymore, etc). And so on, and so on. Have a great day.:) Patrick. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual Post to : ubuntu-manual@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
