please explain all the differences between the "wiki team" and "forums squad".. (i do realize that this may all be laid out somewhere on the mail list and i missed it by join too late...if so, i'll go back and read up on the history, but if it is not documented, then)
is one a sub-set of the other, or what?
if one group is viewed as 'over' and/or superior to the other, please explain how that came about..
that is, who ('the openSUSE community' as a whole, Novell, or ???) made the hierarchical decisions, and granted powers to one or the other?
can an individual be on both the team and squad?
how might one decide to which s/he wishes to be part of?
We have no strict definition for that actually. The Wiki team is referred to the people actually doing the transition, planning the Usability Concept and implementing it. Those people that are contributing to the Wiki for ages and try to be helpful in explaining what the transition is all about (i.e. "my" team). The forums squad is referred to the volunteers willing to step up and help us with the actual article transition, i.e. reviewing the content we have. We fortunately managed to gain a real crowd of contributors over at the openSUSE forums and due to the plain numbers, we call them the forums "squad". That said, there's no hierarchy between those people (we're community) but due to organizational purposes (the Wiki team and I discussed and worked on the Usability Concept for months now) we need to make sure that we all work hand in hand and you cannot expect that the forums squad is fully aware of the process .. Thus we do a mentoring session. The organization of the Wiki Team is btw my (questionable) courtesy. I actually try my best to keep the big picture in mind. HTH R
