I do not think that +such a working party is a good general concept for "noise-reduction" in +discussion list or a forum - but I think that it may be a valuable +concept once such a discussion involves work and requires some people to +roll up their shirt sleeves in a somewhat organised way. + +I think that the "Install Mageia from Windows" issue is a typical +example for what could be very efficiently dealt with by a small ad-hoc +working party - some few people who elaborate the issue in a - +temporarily private - discussion, but than bring the results (or reason +why there are no results) back to the list (the forum). That would be in +complement to the Mageia teams - which address a far broader list of +tasks (Install Mageia from Windows also illustrates that such a topic +might cross the border of Mageia teams - some added value to the idea of +a working party). And, I think, working this way may be fun. + +Some embroidery around how such working parties might work: +- their principal aim should be to work out concepts / proposals that +improve the end-user value of Mageia; +- their work should be complementary to what the established Mageia +structures do (Mageia teams, the cooker-follow-up, etc); +- they should be self-organised (off-load work from the established +structures; in one extreme using a private mailing list for +communication, in the other extreme use a temporarily maintained sub-forum) +- they should work under the umbrella of Mageia (the work should in +relation to topics raised in Mageia mailing lists and forums, Mageia +should be kept informed; Mageia might formulate some general guidelines +to be respected in order to accept the working party under the label of +Mageia). + +The immediate answer to my suggestion will probably be "why dont you?": +I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about Windows and migration from +windows. + +Maybe I am proposing a solution for a once-only problem - than throw it +away. But I think there are other topics where such working parties +could generate profitable (to Mageia) results, maybe even ideas for +topics might be triggered once the concept exists. + +I think that this is something where a "community distro" has some trump +cards to play. +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="002346.html">[Mageia-discuss] Install Mageia from Windows +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="002348.html">[Mageia-discuss] How about launching "Mageia working parties"? +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#2347">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#2347">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#2347">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#2347">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
