meeting/deadlineannouncements
Point
3.1.3 of RFC 1855 (Netiquette Guidelines), 1995 [1] :
"- Send mail when
an answer to a question is for one person
only.
Remember that News has global
distribution and the whole world
probably is
NOT interested in a personal response. However,
don't
hesitate to post when something will be
of general interest to the
Newsgroup
participants."
Just replace "News" with Mailing List, and "mail" with
personal mail, as
this was crafted for long gone Usenet. But it's the same
thing.
Also of interest, and in the same line, is the "Me Too" advice
just above
this one. :)

Hello Pine,
Since we're on the topic
of mailing list norms, may I also suggest that we
please do not copy the
entire mailing list for
any one-to-one well wishes
as
well?
Example: "Congrats" messages to various topics
like project completed,
new
affiliate, edit count, or whatsoever.
Certain
times, more than half of my
mailbox are simply a pile-up of
one-to-one
congratulatory messages that
really doesn't concern 99% of
the readers.
Maybe those can be sent
direct/off-list?
Sorry to somewhat change the topic. But
I feel this needs to be said
somewhere, and it might as well be here.
:)

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Proposal regarding norms
for meeting/deadline
announcements
>
> Hi Wikimedia-l and Wikitech-l,
>
Keeping in mind the large numbers of
subscribers on some Wikimedia email
lists, the endless valuable uses for the time
of knowledgeable volunteer
Wikimedians, the significant financial costs
for the time of many of the
staff and contractors on these mailing lists,
and how packed calendars
can
be, I propose that we implement a few social
norms/guidelines
for
Wikimedia-l and Wikitech-l in particular.
1. When
planning to have a one-time public meeting, announce it at least 14
days
in advance to give everyone who might like
to participate that much
lead
time to clear space on their calendars.
Rarely is a one-time public
meeting so urgent that it cannot wait 14 days
from the day that it is
announced.
2. Send a maximum of one reminder email regarding a
one-time public
meeting, and also send a maximum of one reminder email
regarding events
with deadlines such as Wikimania scholarship
submissions or conference
presentation proposals. More than one reminder
about a meeting or deadline
is excessive.
3. If
extending a deadline, send only an announcement of the extension with
no
additional reminder.
4. Send only one email to announce a
recurring weekly meeting, with no
additional reminders. Meetings which
recur less
often, such as biweekly or
monthly, may continue to be
announced with one
additional reminder.
At this time these are
proposals only. Comments are welcome. If the
comments become extensive
then I may request
that we move the conversation
to
Meta.
