i wonder two things:
first, since anyone who can sign in can edit/make contributions to the wiki, is it really a necessity to join the team, introduce yourself, and receive an assignment? and second, i wonder what kind and how many 'some details' have to be gone over by Jon or spyhawk in IRC before editing or adding to the wiki...i mean, maybe i'm wrong but isn't IRC a rather transit, perishable medium to be using to cover details so important they must be covered prior to beginning?
anyway, shouldn't important details be covered in a persistent place where all can be directed to so that they may be read and digested at the helper's pace?
the reason i also quoted Rajko is because perhaps some of those questions being fielded in IRC should find themselves stored in and available to all in the same 'wiki team' place with instructions, 'some details' and a FAQ..
Well its good to see that you took an initiative to contribute to the wiki, and its not necessary to join the team and introduction is optional ( would be good if possible) .But yes until n unless you/anyone doesnt have a task assigned or is unclear of the motive , i would request not to start the work . As it would be the same thing like earlier 'we would land up in a mess'.So its better to have the basic idea on the 'how the things are carried out' or 'how it should be done' and then start the tasks.The IRC is the place where the wiki team members ( selected ones) will be conducting a mentoring session where all the interested contributors will be invited so to make the entire thing clear in there ( contributors) mind and then assigning task or any other method ( Check out Rupert's mail on this, for more info).After which certainly all the details or so called MINUTES will be presented to the ML . So we would have a definite place for the data to be stored :) .
thanks, DenverD
