Access to OTRS implies a high trust into the user from the part of the foundation. The main backlog is currently with permissions emails, where less stringent access standards (should) apply, because the information there is mostly not very sensitive. The second largest backlog is in the Quality subqueue of info-en, and this is the issue here...because access to info-en::Quality is a fairly high level access in the general OTRS system (I'm making this sound much more bureaucratic than it actually is) -- obviously, because there you'll find the high priority cases with a possibly high PR impact, so we need to make sure that we trust people who handle them. I've seen people attach copies of their ID or copies of their Criminal Records File in emails to that queue...so I hope you understand that I support being quite strict in giving access there. >Have you considered using IRC for interviews as part of the application >package? That would require a high amount of time for the OTRS admins. Mind you, it's not "the foundation's HR department" that does this but individual volunteers.
