Hi Friends,
Since there have been no further comments regarding website moderation
policy, I've made the changes to the CoC that we discussed.
Most of those who commented about being retroactive, thought since the
policy was not existing at the time, we should not delete images uploaded
before
this date (or the members who uploaded them). (So we can vote those old ones
that I flagged, back in now.)
I started to put out a call for volunteer moderators (on the To-Do List
page, and also posting in forums and mailing lists) except I wasn't sure about
the wording. I was going to say something like "Volunteers are needed to join
the Website Team as Moderators."
But then I realized there's no such thing as a Website Team, and
actually it's a Website Editors team....which I'm not sure if moderators would
be subset of editors... Hhmm, maybe so?
Anyway, I seem to recall there was some mention of possibly creating a
Moderation Team. But before I post something like "Volunteers are needed to
form a/join the Website Moderation Team" maybe we should decide if Moderators
need their own team?
This might be another subject, but pursuant to all the recent
discussion
and movement towards getting the French manual translated, so we can find
update
and expand it, I wonder if we need to think about a Documentation Team?
Since Martin is the website guru, he probably has an idea what would be
best here. Personally, I can't think of a reason for a formal moderation team.
But there may be one (or more), that make sense, that I just never realized.
Thoughts, comments?
All best,
brynn

Subject: [Inkscape-docs] website moderation policy final
Hi Friends,
It seems like this last message about moderation policy got buried in
all the recent important chatter. So I'm re-sending the most vital parts of it,
so we can finish this up. For convenience, https://inkscape.org/community/coc/
And here's the suggested change:
In the Guidelines for User-Submitted Content section, replace
"Art and other content submitted to the Inkscape website should adhere to the
following rules:"
with
"Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape (e.g. created
with Inkscape, created for use with Inkscape, showing how to work with Inkscape,
etc.). We reserve the right to remove any content that does not seem appropriate
or does not adhere to the following obligatory rules:"

> Little thing, but "created for use with Inkscape" could cover things
like just regular images... in fact it could cover just about
anything, even things made with Adobe Illustrator. I'd simply cut that
bit out.
Hhmm.....yes, I see what you mean. My interpretation of that, is for things
like extensions or filters. But maybe there's a better way to say it?
What about "created to be installed in Inkscape"? Or maybe just "to be
installed in Inkscape"? That would eliminate any kind of image. Any other
suggestions out there? Eduard?
I wonder about adding "Inkscape Project"? Such as:
"Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape or the Inkscape
Project (e.g. created...."
That would cover things like a website graphics or page mockup, board meeting
transcript, etc.

> If there's a significant amount of undesirable content currently, it's
probably best to make it retroactive. If it's just a few things, then
we should approach the owners about it. Not to be pushy, but to inform
them of the new policy.
To me, it's a significant amount. By my estimate, probably 1 or 2 thumbnails
per page of the gallery are random photos! So that's way too many to consider
trying to contact them.
Personally, I would love to delete them without notice. But since the policy
was not available at the time they uploaded, technically I think it's not fair
to delete them. But they'll soon be shuffled further and further back, as the
gallery grows. I'm happy just to get the policy settled and put it into effect.
Thanks everyone for taking the time, and helping to finalize this issue. As far
as I know, this will be the last step before we can start recruiting moderators,
and using the system officially.
All best,
brynn
