[IMC-Boston-Editorial] introduction (new pending editor)

[Sofia JarrinT]

hi ya'll,
  
  I've tried contacting svea & sharpie directly via email about  introducing alex into the Editorial collective, without avail... Next  step is calling them.  I'll try to make sure they weigh in the  issue to see how we can go about this smoothly.
  
  Dana, I'm copying you on this email because I'm not sure you're on the  editorial list... Mainly, I've made a proposal of bringing a new  editor, Alex, whom I've personally met and trust would do an excellent  job in keeping the site troll-clean.  
  
  Jon suggested that initially Alex gets privileges on Hidding only, No  Deletion, No Centering.  After the 2 months we can review his  privileges.
  
  Jamie mentioned that "if the person is going to be added, I think they  should agree to come to at least the next two meetings. IMC is a  culture built on relationships." 
  
  I agree with Alex coming at least to our next two monthly/editorial  meetings... Although it does worry me that we don't seem able to meet  often enough.
  
  Alex, thanks for your patience! 
  
  peace,
  Sofia
  
  Ps: I would move this to the Discuss section, but I'm not 100% sure who  is checking that? It seems Editorial is more active at the moment?  Don't know...

i  guess this is where i weigh in- my name's alex and i'm the person sofia  had suggested giving editorial privileges. i appreciate the caution you  are showing in adding someone who is an unknown quantity. it might help  to have a bit of background: i've been an activist in boston for  several years, and have worked on and off with imc-bos since its  inception around the biodevastation protests in 2000. some of the  oldheads like jon grebe will remember me, as will svea, with whom i  worked a bit later, though she seems to be taking a break too. in fact  i still have some of imc's gear, printer, etc. 
anyhow, i never did  editing on the site, since my computer skills are minimal, and would  need a primer to get started anyway, so i'd be fine with coming to one  or two general meetings. it's just that i can't really commit to  regular physical meetings... 
about using standard names when  hiding comments- i think there is a useful accountability function in  keeping separate names for editors, but nothing wrong with coming up  with standard codes for why item are being hidden. might make the  process seem less arbitrary, while letting others (and ourselves) know  who was responsible.
ok, hope to see you all soon.
ona move, 
alex
