Hi all Thanks to folks who donated time around Tues to help sort and tidy. That includes wiki-tidying thats taken place also. A number of 'requests for comments' have surfaced since, so I thought I would pass them on the mail list for membership consideration.
Firstly, there was general feeling that members should not add warning labels to project/items that are not their own - even if intended to be 'deerocrat' humorous. They should instead ask the owner (if known) to label themselves or even better to document their item on the wiki. As a side note, the wiki has a growing project section for this so consider adding your own projects here too, especally if they are stowed outside your box due to their size. If there is missing documentation off/online, the owner is not known or he/she disagrees with your request, ask for comments from the maillist, or via a director if you wish to be anonymous. If you have immediate safety concerns, simply isolate/make safe and make contact asap. Secondly, at least one member is keen to draw attention to large items that are stored in the space. A page for this now exists off the wiki's Storage page, together with a Trashing page. An item in apparent storage has many attributes, size is one and usefulness, popularity are others. Space is limited and size is quick to rate so I believe a page of large items is useful to stimulate group chats around these other attributes. Size alone is not cause for a single member to issue warnings/deadlines but is great to launch discussion. Finally, Trashing. If something that takes up space is unclaimed, persistently unsafe or just not wanted then it should be considered for trashing. A wiki page now exists for listing these items and I hereby volunteer to transport items via van to waste at regular intervals. It was tentatively suggested that some time during the last Tuesday of the month should be devoted to tidying and sorting. I have gone on to add that maybe that day's Tuesday announce emails should call attention to the 'large item' and 'trashing pages' for the membership to check and maybe claim. We have evolved most of our current space practices by collecting comments until objections cease. Please voice your opinions to the above to help us dial it in right. Cheers, Nordin.
