Hello, I will endeavour to answer your questions - I think this will
help for other people too who may have similar concerns etc.

What do you mean by "accept work"? Does this
mean that you are simply
prepared to work? Or does it suggest that work is delegated to whoever
has said they will accept (any) work?
Right now it just means able to accept work because there is no direct
assignment at group level. I envisage that within projects, our new
project managers will be getting involved in assignment, but at group
level everyone volunteers for projects. They are generally announced
to the list.
What is the "right category of member"?
This just means co-ordinator, project manager, or member. I have
seperate them on the table to easily track down what you want.
Basically, you are choosing between project manager and member when
you list yourself.
So, anyone can join at any time? Is there (or should
there be) any way
to veto anyone's membership? (Just putting it out there.)
Anyone can join, yes. If we ended up with a troublemaker, it would be
the case that myself as the list administrator (or Cary or Sandy who
also have access) may well ban them from the list. Their activities on
meta are then a case for meta admins, basically (which I am too).
Right now there is no ComProj-specific procedure for removal.
I asked some other pretty general clarifying questions
at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:ComProj Calendar Guidelines and
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Communication Projects
Group/Projects/How it works
I will go in and answer these.
Also, on projects - are *all* current projects listed
at the
'Calendar' and 'Ongoing projects' pages?
I am not sure, to be honest. We were never good at keeping thsoe up to date.
Using a search on Special:Allpages seems to me to be the best way to
track down projects for templating and listing under the new system.
Thanks,
Sean
