Communities forums +</I>><i> I am not really happy with these links in "Communities forums". As +</I>><i> already said, they are leading to Mandriva forums anyway and we should +</I>><i> first ask those people how they would like it to be: +</I>><i> - keep their existing forum for both groups, Mandriva and Mageia +</I>><i> - open up their own forum for Mageia (like mandrivausers.org/mageiausers.org) +</I>><i> - start a new forum for Mageia inside the main Mageia forum. +</I>><i> Of course we can place links to existing Mandriva communities +</I>><i> somewhere, in many cases these communities are the sources where our +</I>><i> new Mageia community comes from. And they bear a whealth of +</I>><i> information, documentation and other help which will benefit Mageia +</I>><i> users for a long time from now. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> Then I think these links are misplaced anyway. They are hidden in the +</I>><i> forum structure but they are not subforums as shown, they are links to +</I>><i> external forums. IMHO a better place for such links to community +</I>><i> forums would be the header section (as in Mandriva forum) or wherever, +</I>><i> but not within the english forum structure. People looking for the +</I>><i> spanish or german community forums will not scan the english forum +</I>><i> structure to find such links. +</I>><i> +</I>I used the easiest way and quickest way to add links + +We need to create something like a dynamic common shared menu.

Moderators, announcements +</I>><i> People have registered their name in the wiki, so IMHO we should +</I>><i> acknowledge their commitment by asking them to fill vacancies (do we +</I>><i> have any?) before we announce the forum. +</I>><i> +</I> +Up to now the best way that proved to be effective to find good moderators was to pick up people that did not ask to be that and choose them for the qualities of their posts and behavior on the forum... and recruit them only if unanimously accepted by all the active moderators. + +This is needed because moderators have to help each other to face trolls and flamewars so we need them to work as a cohesive team. + +As the forum did not exist i could not use this method... so i relied on Ash experience to choose a handful of moderators for a start. + +Next moderators will be recruited gradually with the increase of the forums's hearing... and i'd encourage the team to use the pick up method + unanimous approval. + +Other people will have extended rights (not yet completely defined) on parts of the forum depending on their activities. The goal being to enable them to rename topics, mark them [resolved], close them and edit posts but not to have them enforce the forum rules (which is the role assigned to moderators) + +But we have vacancies to fill : Support team is at this moment empty and we need someone to create it, recruit people and brief them... + +(Bug Hunters is also empty but i don't know if this is really needed to have a team for that...) + +Regards, + +Maât + + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000540.html">[Mageia-webteam] Questions about the forum +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000542.html">[Mageia-webteam] Questions about the forum +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#539">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#539">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#539">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#539">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-webteam">More information about the Mageia-webteam +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
