Perhaps we need a clearer schedule in advance. A series of reminders go out via Marvin long in advance. And then, a few days before the board's deadline, I state the latest possible time for me to post it to svn to give people as much time as possible. I wait until very late in the cycle to create commentary in the front so that (a) the rest of the community gets the first opportunity to create that content, and (b) it can reflect the content of the late-arriving podling reports. Some people are on the record as feeling that the reminder/notification/deadline process for podling reports asks for the reports too soon as things are. I very much doubt that reminding all and and sundry of the eventual board deadline one more time per month will change any behavior. You seem to have abandoned shepherd appointments. > Yup.
