<pre>As the new treasurer of the Wiki-Aus I have been reading this discussion with some interest and I now make the following comment.<br><br>I am in support of Sarah's continual point that only financial members should be able to edit the official wiki for many reasons,<br>however the below snippet from Andrew's comment is particularly useful and valid.<br> <br>Quite frankly folks the committee members of this chapter already have absolutely far too many things to read - <br>to the extent that there is a very great chance that we will come awash with the excess of that information <br>(and indeed there are clear instances where we have already). <br><br>Adding to that situation with open editing of the official wiki is neither practical nor reflective of real world boards,<br>and quite frankly we are a real world board with real world responsibilities as a part of corporate governance requirements.<br>In a nutshell we are responsible in the main to the financial members of this chapter and <br>it is only their material that should take any more of our time or effort at the the official chapter pages.<br><br>There are plenty of ways to draw our attention to issues of concern at other open wikis and <br>so I for one do not support open editing in any form.<br><br>> *Andrew comment sent Saturday, 12 December 2009 9:38 AM<br>> Expecting already busy committee members (and I'm not even<br>> speaking for myself here) to monitor the wiki in such circumstances is an<br>> imposition on them and a completely unnecessary one - what do we stand to<br>> benefit from it, as against the costs?<br></pre> <br /><hr />Find out how <a href='http://windowslive.ninemsn.com.au/hotmail/article/823454/web-im-for-hotmail-is-here' target='_new'>Use Messenger in your Hotmail inbox</a></body>
