[axxs-sysadmin] Decision Making - [Fwd: Re: [Imc-alternatives] Patchwork looks great!]

[aketus]

Hi And,

I'm not sure about the geographical affinity of axxs.org - but in  
relation to your second question, I would say it's up to the axxs.org  
workers/volunteers themselves what they choose to assist with..

For starters the sysadmins manage axxs.org as a whole - thus they are  
effectively assisting all the sites on it.

Once again I suggest the need for the wiki - we need a list of current  
projects on axxs.org that need support or development, then we can  
assign manhours or representatives (can you tell I work in an  
office?!) to each project so we know where we're at. I'll write a  
separate email on this.

I agree that if existing projects require work - these should be  
tackled first before starting new ones - but those projects need to  
draw attention to the fact that they need help!
The first step I think, is for representatives of projects such as  
Melb IMC, Oceania IMC etc, to put forward requests to the list for  
support or required services... otherwise we would naturally keep  
taking up new projects as they come in.

As a sort of personal response: I'm always keen to help out (with  
Drupal support in particular, Wordpress, Joomla etc) sites that need  
spring cleaning - that's kind of the function of Anarchobase.com atm -  
with Melb IMC I agreed to provide support but it seems most everything  
has already been completed! There didn't seem to be a lot more to do.

Inre: Oceania IMC, I think that is pabs domain (no pun intended) from  
what I have been told, numerous suggestions have been made for changes  
to that site, crons etc, however little has been done because I  
believe pabs is away and no one else has passwords..??
