Hey guys
So, on Thursday we're going to be holding an Office Hours session on IRC ..<snip>...The session will be held in #wikimedia-office at 19:00 GMT/UTC, and I hope to see a lot of you there :).
I realise that sometimes it is a challenge to arrange these Office Hours in a more spread out way; however, of the last five sessions (including this one), four of them have occurred at a time that severely limits participation from North and South American editors, as they come during our "business day". This particular topic area is very much of interest to our N/S American editors who work on projects where the Article Feedback Tool is in use and has raised concerns, and ones where the "new and improved" version will be placed.
I'd very much urge trying to spread out the time of Office Hours generally. I'd also like to suggest consideration be given to doing a "double" office hour session for topic areas that impact projects globally and involve editors from just about every time zone. Reading IRC "minutes" is not the same as being involved in the discussion.
Thanks!
