ok, i kinda thought i understood the distinction (that is, i thought the "wiki team" were those who had laid the foundation and the "forum squad" were those who came late, via a plea in the forums)...but, then i got confused again when i read fsundermeyer's "Under Construction: New Wiki Underway" in 22 Dec 09 news, where s/he wrote: "As mentioned, all tasks are being done by the wiki team. We'd ask members who are not part of this team to participate in our mentoring session and to coordinate with us on our mailinglist before jumping in."
which leads me to believe that the "forum squad" may be a temporary distinction and those recent volunteers who stood up when asked (via the forum) will become a 'real' member of the "wiki team" by participating in the mentoring session..
is that correct?
if so, that still leaves a question in my mind: when oldcpu (for example) recently raised his hand in the forum, was he included in the "forum squad" because of where and when he 'joined', *or* was he included in the "wiki team" since he had been "contributing to the Wiki for ages"??
you may wonder why i ask: because, i was surprised after i thought i had volunteered to help out on the "wiki team" to learn i had unknowingly joined the "forums squad" even though i've been poking my nose into the wiki "for ages" correcting typos, misspelling, clear as mud passages, and etc...having never seen the need to "join" anything in order to contribute..
perhaps this will all become clear...hope so,
respectfully, DenverD
You may be thinking about it too hard. :) Forum squad was not a term I had seen used anywhere before starting the 'forum squad introductions' thread. It wasn't meant to be derogatory, or to make an absolute distinction, but there is a distinction there: some people have been designing the new wiki - I presume they are the 'wiki team'. I'm not part of the wiki team, and turned up due to the latest 'call to arms' on the forum, so I guess that makes me part of a 'forum squad'. To the extent that you and oldcpu didn't design the new wiki, and post on the forum, you are more than welcome to join me...
