My personal thoughts on the topic have turned into 'meh'. While this is
probably not technically right(not a good thing when discussing amongst
hackers and aspiring hackers), but I think the more rules you put on
people who want to contribute shows, the more you push people off from
wanting to contribute.
But I do think HPR will get to the point it will either cease or some of
those rules or guidelines will have to go.
I think as new hosts become old hosts they will have a tendency, and I
will have a tendency to consider them a show hosted on HPR. And I like
that. I understand that goes against the policy and many people do not
like that. My point is I think that's counter to the goal of filling
slots. I haven't caught up on recent email but I'm half afraid to
fearing there will be a thread about how "Oh No News" has to go.

Hi All,
Can you please respond to this policy change, as it stands this is
something that we should not implement.
Also please send in some shows this weekend as we're going to be
moving to the static site soon and it would be great to have the queue
full.
Ken.

Hi All,
First , *w**e need shows immediately* as there is an empty queue next
week, and the number of Emergency/Reserve shows are also dwindling.
So please finish that show you were thinking of submitting and send
it in. If you don't care when it's released please put "Use as
Emergency show" in the show notes for now.
... hold music while you do that ...
I am concerned about the future of HPR, as a project where the shows
are produced by the community. At this rate we cease to be a bar camp
style podcast and become one where the shows are provided by a
rotating team of "regulars".
Ideally we would like it so that every show is contributed by a
different host, giving a 1:1 ratio between show and host. So far this
year all but 4 of the submissions are from hosts who submitted more
than one show, a 3:1 ratio. Ahuka aside, the majority are as a result
of kindhearted hosts who contribute shows at the last minute to fill
the vacant slots.
To make this problem more visible I would like to introduce the
following Scheduling Guideline "*No host should submit any more than
one show in a two week period.*" Of course these are guidelines etc
etc., but it should still allow prolific hosts to submit shows while
not masking the underlying issue that we have yet to address.
Which is: We need new hosts, but we also need old hosts who have not
submitted shows this year to submit a show.
How do we solve this problem ?
