The proposal's intent is to address the question: "Should we move members who have not participated and are uncontactable for a certain period of time into some sort of inactive status?" It's a fair question that Robert ask, and one that deserves some consideration.
It is a fair question, no doubt. But it begs the question as to what constitutes "activity", and that hasn't really been defined. It's hard to discuss moving people to an 'inactive' status if 'active' isn't clearly defined.
We could make passwords expire after say 2 years. Then those definitions become much easier, I'd say.
That doesn't answer the question, it more or less avoids the question.
I am dodging the questions for now, because I believe that having having a reliable indicator of inactivity is prerequisite. For my part, I'd appreciate, if others have a good estimate how active I am in certain fields. Part of our openness, isn't it? cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 say #263A!__/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, J.Guild, F.Imendoerffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg), Maxfeldstrasse 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany SuSE.
