Re: [Mutopia-discuss] 3 requests to improve the project communication (and hopefully get new contributors)
Hi there, as I am new to this list, I can’t reply directly, but this is an addition to this mail: http://www.mail-archive.com/mutopia-discuss@mutopiaproject.org/msg00255.html 1. Mutopia works in the public-domain point to this licence: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/publicdomain/ But this is a retired licence that is not recommended any longer (since 2010 -- over 3 years). It is explained why and alternatives can be found there, too. 2. Another wish I would like to state here again: Could the Mutopia tagline be drastically beautified? To me this is against all typographical conventions and I would suggest: - One font size for the whole tagline - the licence is mentioned twice: in the tagline and in the copyright (one would suffice, my suggestion: copyright) - less text in general - details about licences can be explained on the Mutopia website, but if I use this piece, I feel less free and more annoyed by those wordy explanations (my personal opinion) 3. I am one of the possible contributers, Federico mentioned, that got no reply. I have now read Chris’ mail about February and I see the activity on this list here. That reassures me. After this first contribution is through and I know the procedures, I have a few more to add. Thanks for your work!

Hi Federico and all, Thanks for starting this discussion. On 04/01/14 12:36, Federico Bruni wrote: 1. I'ts been suggested[1] to add (on the website) a reference to the github way of contributing. [...] I agree, I would like to describe how to contribute using this method and add the information to the website. 2. The same github user who didn't know about the github repo tried to send a contribution by email and never got a reply[2]. Too bad. This is clearly not good enough and I would like to apologise to anyone in this situation. I made an effort to try and work regularly on Mutopia throughout December, and intend to continue this effort into 2014. I have a week scheduled at the end of February (24th-28th) to review how things are going and plan for the future. I strongly suggest that contributions are sent to this list I am happy to accept contributions sent to this list, and can add it to the website as a more public way of contributing. I also plan to add any e-mail contributions which I can't process immediately (eg. complicated ones) as GitHub issues so the contributor - and anyone else - can track their progress. 3.
