Hi All

We got some feedback from the folks participating on the IRC Community Meeting today.  Based on that feedback, I'm proposing the following modified guidelines:

Participation Guidelines for Evergreen Communication Channels.


*         Ask questions of general interest to the community  or to a specific  group on one of the Evergreen mailing lists<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php>. If your question is more specific, like "I'm installing this and I have a particular error message,"  try asking your question on the IRC channel<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/irc.php>.  Always make a point of reporting back to the mailing lists when you've gotten answers to your questions off-list.

*         The IRC channel<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/irc.php> is a synchronous channel where people are logged in and available for asking questions.  Sometimes the channel is very quiet. Other times it is very busy like when a community meeting is being held.    If there's a community meeting in progress, please refrain from comments unrelated to the meeting topic at hand until the meeting is over. .

*         Add events of general interest to the community on the Evergreen calendar<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=calendar:start>, especially any meetings that are going to use the IRC channel.

*         Propose ideas and ask for feedback on one of the Evergreen mailing lists<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php>.    Some proposals may ask for feedback by a certain date, and if there's no objections, the proposed solution will move forward.

*         Use the general mailing list<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php> to announce events of general interest to the community or to the group that subscribes to the list.      If there's more of a story consider a blog posting<http://evergreen-ils.org/blog/>.   Or, you may participate in one of the Evergreen related blogs that are aggregated at Planet Evergreen<http://planet.evergreen-ils.org/>.    Or, start your own blog!

*         Use the Evergreen Launchpad<https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen> to post bugs.

*         Post information about committees and working groups meeting notes and other working documents on the Wiki<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_committees>

*         Use the Evergreen Wiki<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=faqs:evergreen_committees> to post member contributed documentation of all kinds

*          Use the  Evergreen mailing lists<http://www.evergreen-ils.org/listserv.php> to share details about a development project you are pursuing or to provide updates on a development project in progress.

Hi folks

Here's a draft for discussion.    Does this capture what we're trying to do?     I was trying to keep it reflecting the norms, and not a "how to" or a duplicate of what already on the Evergreen web site.

Regards,

June
