Dear all,
as a member of the board in question, i would like to explain more
But let's not pretend this is a question of a sudden need to set up a new
mailing list. That's not what this is about (q) A.
yep. totally agree. this all is about <u>searching for transparent and
convenient forms of communication</u>
especially within the chapter. but it is really difficult, it seems :((
(if possible at all)
...<u>and failing</u>
we (as a community) were discussing:
- a new mailing list (with a public archive), for announcements - if it is
open, than looking for volunteers is easier, as one can offer help
even if (s)he is not a member of the organization
- to leave this mailing list (the one, that was 'switched to 'read-only'
mode' by the board's decision) for talking - there are some people that are
used to
solving problems by talking them[problems] out-of-their-wits with a fair
lot of letters (so to say)
- to use irc channel for those wishing to hear answers ASAP and without
being drown by e-letters (and publish these logs afterwards)
the need was not sudden, but it was too late expressed. it just irritates
people to get lots of letters
and it irritates them to hear something critical or unpleasant...
unfortunately, people TEND to act on their irritation
thus the above-mentioned Board decision was made...
(...) and we can assume the WMUA membership will judge their action as they
see fit (q) A.
and i do believe so
best regards,
antanana
