Re: [mb-style] What is and what is not off topic
But my original question came from the fact that I searched the wiki for user group and I didn't find this page, so I tought it didn't exist at all. Ah, it was "list", not "group". Silly of me :-( No, just joking. One of the first things I will do is add the word "group" somewhere ;-) And this wiki page isn't much clearer than the group's title, Don. I can't do it now (I must get my train), but I will try to find a little time this evening. 2006/6/7, Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Ok, this has joined my list of todos. 2006/6/7, Stefan Kestenholz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > why ask, do it :-) > > you can start here [1], there are linked pages for the specific > mailing lists. i'd add the new point as a paragraph to the style > mailing list page (just use what DR said, and link to the post on the > mailing list archive) > > regards > --keschte > > [1] http://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MailingList > > On 6/7/06, Frederic Da Vitoria <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hmm, what about a little wiki page explaining the different mb groups, > > and a few rules like this one? > > ___ > Musicbrainz-style mailing list > Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org > http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style > -- Frederic Da Vitoria -- Frederic Da Vitoria ___ Musicbrainz-style mailing list Musicbrainz-style@lists.musicbrainz.org http://lists.musicbrainz.org/mailman/listinfo/musicbrainz-style

Re: [mb-style] What is and what is not off topic
Hmm, what about a little wiki page explaining the different mb groups, and a few rules like this one? 2006/6/6, Beth <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I think new users may still get confused... but, quickly shiftable. The biggest concern I saw was when asked to move the discussion it never was moved. I was tempted to do so myself, however, that would create yet more "traffic" than was already there. If you're asked to move the discussion, the very next reply should be to mb users and so forth. If you see a discussion link "RE: [mb users] title" changed, (which you should do as well.) avoid commenting without first redirecting to the users mailing list. Same goes to Style, or Experts or automod, whatnot.

However, I don't believe that this is the crucial point. I do not think that a half-yearly reeducation programme is necessary, if those people who are already part of the council behave in an educated way. ;-) Now, this is *no* offence against anyone. The current Style Council developed in a very soft and slow way of organizational development. This worked remakably well. It is no surprise, that there would be a point in this development in which the boundaries of the council got too fuzzy. If this is the case (as I believe) then we need to define these boundaries now, document them, and use them in practice. If we do it well, then this problem should be solved permanently. Someone (I think Nikki) said they thought the distinction between concrete and abstract style issues was confusing. So obviously it is not a good boundary. What about the simple question: "Do you need a decision by the Style Council to solve your problem?". If the answer is "no", or "I don't know" (or even "What is the Style Council?", then sticke to mb-users. Thoughts?
