Hey,
My two cents: It would be cool if people could list themselves under a
specific area. This allow projects to find people for a specific job.
This does not mean you have to accept every job offered, it just means
that you are identifying what area you would like to work in. Here are
some areas, of the top of head:
- copy editor - writing text for pieces
- researcher (facts, info, pics, for brochures, video, etc)
- graphic design - creating brochures, fliers,
- film production
- translating check (making sure a translated brochure, etc, reads well
in your language)
- project management - providing organizational support for projects
- website design - creating with graphic elements on webpages
- General Assistance
- Press - helping with press list and other press specific tasks
These are only some areas, however, you may list your own.
In terms of organization, we were kicking the idea of starting to assign
project managers to each project. this does not mean that project
managers are in charge, they are simply providing organizational
support, providing deadlines, making sure people are on track etc....Ie,
we are experimenting, to find the most efficient solution to executing
projects.

Thanks Sean,
I am still figuring out how this group works, so please bear with me
while I ask some questions.

being on the list on meta if you cannot accept work.
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?
So, I invite
everyone to list themselves back on the list, filling in the
information across the table (feel free to omit fields for privacy)
and putting yourself in the right category of member.
What is the "right category of member"?
The other change to this is that new membership
is 'self-service' -
people can add themselves without my intervention, because it is
pointless now the document is public.
[rest of email snipped]
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.)
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
Also, on projects - are *all* current projects listed at the
'Calendar' and 'Ongoing projects' pages?
Thanks,
Cormac
