What are the chances to achieve the goals and fulfill that mission if nobody tries to enroll first in doing the TO-DO list's tasks ?
This is not a company, you can't assign volunteers to tasks. You have to let people work on what they are motivated. If you want them to work on something, the best you can do is try to show them why it's interesting and why they would find the experience rewarding. Please listen to my talk on INREACH, I discussed this issue precisely.
Yes ok, you can't assign tasks but what about tasks needed to be done and that are not motivating anybody ? How do you to have this task done ? Example : RFEs triage and consolidation. This is a marketing task, aint'it ? may be transversal with QA but I think that new 3.0 features for OOo have also a marketing concern. Nobody wants to work on this, should we let the RFEs unanswered and going into a black hole ?
I feel that being a good citizen in a project and really belonging to a project means that you take care also about this tasks that are always delayed but are however significant for the project. In that case, the leaders will be also more confident in newcomers and new ideas or ponctual, because he/she will know that even if there is new tasks, the old or boring one will be done and that will keep the project unified and effective.
Like every where in the OOo project we are fighting against the lack of resources and time ; having the basic work runing with enough people engaged in the whole project, even if they are working on separate tasks, and not people engaged only in what they are interesting for, would allow the project to be more reactive and more open, imho.
My 2 CFA ;)
Kind regards Sophie
