however, though, volunteer time isn't necessarily fungible. it could be you have very avid volunteers who want to do project X, while nobody really wants to work on project Y despite it being a priority. if it's the workplace you suck it up and do project Y. for a volunteer org, that's not viable. so you may end up with a situation where project Y doesn't happen because nobody wants to do it, and project X doesn't happen because when someone comes along and really wants to do it, folks say "but project Y is far more important..." -c _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
