That’s one of the catch-22s of volunteers, coordination.SwampRabbit wrote: Tue Aug 04, 2020 2:31 pm Its been discussed on the dev side, the issue is time and people to implement, maintain, and support.
In order to do more cool fancy and possibly easier things... we need volunteers to offer time and resources.
If the issue isn’t ‘approved’ somewhere publicly and have a mechanism for “I’ll do that,” then volunteers won’t sign up to do it, as they don’t want to waste their time (and most by now have been burned before).
So, bigger issue:
Is there a list of ‘approved’ enhancements (for the forum in this case) where someone can ‘sign up’ as the volunteer in charge of getting it done?
The enhancement needs to have a general ‘goal,’ a set of must have’s, a set of we’d like these too, and if you’re feeling really froggy would you do these as well set.
Within the constraints of this forum, first thought is to create a new category
Development > General, Subforums: > Forum
And
- Only allow ‘Admin’ types to create new topics.
- Sticky post explaining that any topic is an approved enhancement with the rules.
- Discussion until an ‘Admin’ ‘closes’ it and adds the full spec’s to the first post.
- Volunteers sign up by posting in that topic (with ETA dates, so an admin can pick someone).
- Some more junk probably needed...
- Edit: Admin types quickly and severely prune OT post like my [ list] question :lipsrsealed:
Best,
