Talk:Meeting:March302014
Meeting started
Clarify Ambiguous (outdated) Baka-Tsuki guidelines.
"is the one week requirement to complete a new chapter
choice 1) keep it 2) extend it to a month 3) remove it
<Kira0802> 3. <Vallor> 2/3 <stellarroze> 2. <krytyk> 1 <Misogi> 3 <Lery> 3 <cloudii> 3 <Lord-Simon> 3 <Darkoneko> 3
Majority to remove it.
consensus seems to expect a new project to already have material ready (like a prologue/intro already translated), rather than start from zero DarkoNeko talk 08:40, 30 March 2014 (CDT)
random questions during chat mode (to complete)
- Should teasers be an intermediate step in the creation of a project ?
- What about teasers where the translator know already that (s)he'll be too busy to continue (and made than in hope another translator picks the project up) ?
- Translators often tag something as a project in hope to get it to the side bar/categories and give it visibility
- Every project seems to start by being tagged as a teaser for some reason (misuse ?)
Vote of new modus operandi :
1). Teaser tag is the default tag to be put on new project 2). When the teaser reaches the requirements for full project, translator tags Pending 3). Oni/DarkoNeko/Vaelis (or other supervisor) approves
<Kira0802> Yea <cloudii> Yes <Cthaeh> yes <krytyk> yes <rock96> Yep <hayashi> yes <stellarroze> yes <Code-Zero> yes <Vallor> Yes but what's happened to the deadline? <Misogi> Yes (although the Alt. Languages situation should be clarified). <DarkoNeko> yes <Lery> yes <Lord-Simon> yes

Create comprehensive Help Pages to improve the experience of brand-new members.

Please stay wuite ,:now 15:18 < cloudii> tagged with ATP, is supposed to be deleted within a week 15:18 < cloudii> unless the translator gets permission from a supervisor 15:18 < cloudii> to get it extended 15:19 <&DarkoNeko> okay, so a little pause 15:19 < krytyk> a translator can first translate a chapter, and then start a project, if he is determined he will do that. I believe that rule was made to avoid people pick up new project, and then go MIA 15:19 <&DarkoNeko> choice 1) keep it 2) extend it to a month 3) remove it 15:19 < Kira0802> 3. 15:19 < Vallor> 2/3 15:19 < stellarroze> 2. 15:19 < krytyk> 1 15:19 < Misogi> 3 15:19 < Lery> 3 15:19 < cloudii> 3 15:19 < Vallor> I'd prefer the third though 15:19 < hayashi> 2 15:19 <&DarkoNeko> krytyk, so, having a chapter (or a prologue) ready before the project is actually created, then 15:20 < cloudii> Can I bring up a point? 15:20 < Lord-Simon> 3 15:20 < Kira0802> go ahead 15:20 <&DarkoNeko> sure 15:20 < Lord-Simon> Let me get some paper 15:20 < cloudii> Theoretically, we want all of our project startup guidelines 15:20 < cloudii> to include rules governing teaser creation 15:20 <&DarkoNeko> I'll go create a summary of the discussion on http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Talk:Meeting:March302014&action=edit&redlink=1 15:20 < Vallor> But it is a problem fo alternative langages 15:20 < krytyk> moreover, considering that rule, I want to pick up another facet of it, the teasers 15:20 < krytyk> it is really ambigious considering teaser projects 15:20 < cloudii> exactly 15:21 < Kira0802> Teasers do not have any rule concerning them, and it'd ok. 15:21 < cloudii> That is point 2 on my page 15:21 < Misogi> Coudii mentionned that point later in the post. 15:21 -!- DefaultMelody [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client] 15:21 < Misogi> Cloudii* 15:21 < krytyk> yeah, I mean those issues are connected 15:21 < cloudii> There are no rules whatsoever governing the creation of teasers 15:21 < krytyk> so if you discuss one, you should consider the other at the same time. 15:21 < cloudii> sure 15:21 < cloudii> so, here's the issue with the teasers 15:21 < Misogi> Teaser = A translator only does some chapters, nothing more. 15:22 < cloudii> since there are no rules governing the uploading up them 15:22 < cloudii> and also the fact that some people don't consider teasers to be "starting a new project" 15:22 < cloudii> whereas other people do 15:22 < hayashi> i have a question 15:22 < hayashi> can anyone create a teaser 15:22 < cloudii> go ahead 15:22 < cloudii> yes 15:22 < Kira0802> yes 15:22 < Lord-Simon> yes 15:22 < hayashi> ah ok 15:23 <&DarkoNeko> that may be a problem 15:23 < hayashi> should we restrict it to translators only? 15:23 < Kira0802> it's not 15:23 < stellarroze> even a machine translator? 15:23 <&DarkoNeko> teasers seems to be quite the "bastardised" status 15:23 < Lord-Simon> I would vote for no. 15:23 < krytyk> to create a teaser you need a correctly translated part 15:23 < Kira0802> well, a machine TL can touch a teaser as much as a normal translation 15:23 < krytyk> so not just anyone can do it 15:23 < hayashi> like a series that a translator wants to do but has no time so it's just something he's throwing out there? 15:23 < Misogi> ^ 15:23 -!- arczyx [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 15:23 < Kira0802> @Hayashi, yeah, something like that 15:23 < cloudii> Well, it's just my observation that the usage of the "teaser tag" no longer represents what we originally intended for it 15:23 < Lord-Simon> One thing about this whole thing. 15:24 <&DarkoNeko> it probably shoiuld be only a translator, but we would keep away potential new translators if only existing ones can do that 15:24 < krytyk> that might be what some people want to do, but it should be treated as something that "teases" and possibly catches some other translators interest 15:24 < cloudii> All new projects on the wiki are tagged with some sort of teaser tag 15:24 < cloudii> in the English projects 15:24 < cloudii> On the other hand, ATP tag is neglected 15:24 < cloudii> that's the main issue here 15:24 < Misogi> Exception of Alt. Languages. 15:24 < Lord-Simon> One person states the problem and explains it. We wait till he/she is done. Discuss it. And at the end we vote. 15:24 < Lery> What was it intended to be at first? 15:24 < cloudii> Imo, all brand new translations on the wiki, should be tagged with ATP 15:25 < cloudii> Oni's original rules didn't not account for the existence of teasers 15:25 <&DarkoNeko> "ATP" ? 15:25 < hayashi> the initial discussion was about the existence of the 1 week deadline 15:25 < cloudii> "Pending Project Tag" 15:25 < Kira0802> I disagree for that 15:25 < cloudii> http://i.imgur.com/JC6zsLM.png 15:25 < hayashi> so far we seem to be mostly in favour of abolishing it/extending it to a month 15:25 < hayashi> with majority for abolishing it totally 15:25 < Kira0802> Why should something that's not intended to be made into a project have a tag on it? 15:25 <&DarkoNeko> cloudii, ... why does that only apply to "alternative lanugages" ? 15:26 < cloudii> No, it's supposed to apply to all languages 15:26 < cloudii> Oni treats it that way 15:26 <&DarkoNeko> ok 15:26 < cloudii> at the very least 15:26 < krytyk> the problem is with existence of ATP imho 15:26 < cloudii> the problem is, is that ATP is not being used 15:26 < cloudii> for english projects 15:26 <&DarkoNeko> bit of pause again : should we use temporary +M with voicing of the speaker during explanation time ? 15:26 < Kira0802> yes 15:26 < krytyk> as teasers are there, people (incl me) prefer to make a teaser, and once it grows to normal volume size convert it to full project 15:26 < stellarroze> +M? 15:26 < Kira0802> don't forget to voice cloudii 15:26 < krytyk> so abolish ATP or teasers 15:26 < Lord-Simon> yes 15:26 < Lord-Simon> I'd like that to do 15:26 <&DarkoNeko> +m, only voice ad above may talk, it's so only the speaker , well, speak, during that time 15:27 <&DarkoNeko> ok, we'll do that starting the next point then 15:27 < cloudii> Observation: Nowadays, all of our new projects go through the Teaser Project pathway. Regardless of whether a new project really should be classified as a teaser, virtually all translators tag their new project pages with the Teaser tag. 15:27 < cloudii> Translators tag the teaser tag regardless of their intent to continue, or not to continue the project 15:27 < cloudii> that's just an observation 15:27 < krytyk> What about abolishing ATP, and making some of its rules cover the teasers 15:28 < Kira0802> True, but why should all projects have ATP? 15:28 < Kira0802> all teasers* 15:28 <&DarkoNeko> should we make "teaser" an intermediary part of creating a project, then ? 15:28 < krytyk> one week to present a prologue 15:28 < krytyk> as a "teaser" 15:28 < krytyk> teasers are very short so a month is not needed 15:28 < Vallor> teasers and new projects are not the same thing... 15:28 < Kira0802> I say you have the content before making the page for a teaser 15:28 < krytyk> teasers often turn into full project, more often than ATP turn into new projects 15:28 < cloudii> krytyk, the one week thing, is that do you really plan to delete a page that has less than prologue? 15:28 < Kira0802> you must have* 15:29 < Lord-Simon> But the teaser and a new project are treated as one 15:29 < cloudii> If someone uploads 25%, do we really want to delete the page? 15:29 < cloudii> just because it fails to fulfil the 1 week requirement? 15:29 < Lord-Simon> That what it might look to the person out there. 15:29 < hayashi> if I may interrupt 15:29 < cloudii> because that's what the rule implies 15:29 < krytyk> 25%, is 4 lines of text very often 15:29 < Lord-Simon> Go on, hayashi. 15:29 < Kira0802> ehhh 15:29 -!- mode/#baka-tsuki [+v Lord-Simon] by DarkoNeko 15:29 < hayashi> teasers are supposed to entice newbie translators into picking up a project 15:30 -!- mode/#baka-tsuki [-vvv cautr`off Gosha Kanzar] by DarkoNeko 15:30 < hayashi> after being 'teased' by a small portion 15:30 < hayashi> krtyk 15:30 < hayashi> what you're proposing isn't a teaser 15:30 < cloudii> that was the original intention of the teaser initiative 15:30 < hayashi> it's a full project you're committing to 15:30 <+Lord-Simon> Yes, that is correct. 15:30 < hayashi> because you intend to continue 15:30 < krytyk> yeah, I know that. The case is that its mainly teasers that turn into normal projects 15:30 < krytyk> ATP isn't used very often 15:30 < hayashi> so far 15:30 < krytyk> making those rules a problem 15:30 < hayashi> not a lot of teasers have made the leap into full projects 15:31 < Kira0802> Teasers turn into projects because without the tag, they don't get visibility. 15:31 < cloudii> the observation is that everyone uses the teaser tag is an intermediate to full project nowadays 15:31 < cloudii> Here's how I see it: 15:31 < krytyk> thus my point is to merge ATP with teasers and create a separate set of rules. 15:31 < cloudii> add Teaser as an official intermediate in the workflow 15:31 -!- rock96 [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 15:31 < cloudii> or merge/delete ATP tag with teasers 15:31 < Kira0802> long time no see, rock 15:31 < hayashi> I think 15:31 < hayashi> teasers should remain as so 15:31 < rock96> Hi to all, yeah 15:32 < hayashi> but the ATP tag should be moderated/enforced more 15:32 < cloudii> The issue is that, there's no way for the ATP tag to be moderated 15:32 < krytyk> if ATP is moderated, people will just continue as teasers until they qualify to full projects 15:32 < hayashi> if you integrate teasers into the project flow 15:32 < krytyk> thus making ATP oboslete 15:32 < cloudii> because the assumption, currently 15:32 < cloudii> is that all translators claim their uploaded translation is a teaser 15:32 < hayashi> it makes people assume every teaser will become a full project eventually 15:32 < cloudii> rendering ATP unnecessary 15:32 <&DarkoNeko> hayashi, that seems to be the goal of the teasers, tho 15:33 < hayashi> hm 15:33 < cloudii> that's why 2/67 projects in the teaser section have ATP tags 15:33 < Misogi> If I may say a word, I saw some English projects with the ATP tag, to make sure that they end in the sidebar. 15:33 < krytyk> translators try to avoid the regulations 15:33 < Kira0802> I think teasers can stay the way they are. ATP tag should be put only when a project meets requirements to become a full project (Basically, just for the mods to approve the project), and the one-week thing should be deleted 15:33 < hayashi> maybe I didn't phrase myself properly 15:33 < krytyk> you dont fight it with more regulations 15:33 < hayashi> like 15:33 < hayashi> teaser projects should only be tagged as teasers 15:33 < cloudii> So, at the very least, it looks like we're in favor of redefining the ATP tag 15:33 < Lery> Kira0802 +1 15:34 < hayashi> if the translator has no intention of continuing 15:34 < hayashi> because if he does intend to 15:34 < cloudii> I disagree with you hayashi 15:34 <&DarkoNeko> ah, that differentiation 15:34 < hayashi> then it's not really a teaser anymore 15:34 < krytyk> sounds good, so a translator tags the series with ATP, and a mod checks if it qualifies 15:34 < zzhk> the deletion warning is kind of misleading, because projects are sometimes tagged ATP for lacking a registration page 15:34 < cloudii> because the teasers tag is the only way to bring visibility to teasers 15:34 < krytyk> thus teaser + tag = full project (if fulfills the reqs) 15:34 < cloudii> ^that works too 15:35 < Misogi> ^ Yeah, it's not a bad idea. 15:35 < Kira0802> hayashi, the problem is that if you don't tage your series a teaser, you have no visibility in the sidebar 15:35 < cloudii> there are many solutions to this that I think works well 15:35 < cloudii> Kira +1 15:35 < hayashi> aren't we getting rid of the sidebar? 15:35 <+Lord-Simon> That is for later 15:35 <&DarkoNeko> yes. 15:35 <+Lord-Simon> wait 15:35 < cloudii> We're replacing it with links to categories 15:35 <&DarkoNeko> well, changing it 15:35 < cloudii> The only way for any new project to get visibility 15:35 < cloudii> is to either be in the English category 15:35 < cloudii> *English Teaser 15:35 < cloudii> or Light Novel Category 15:36 < cloudii> That's the rationale for most translators to tag teasers 15:36 < cloudii> when their project has not been approved yet 15:36 < hayashi> ok 15:36 < hayashi> but if 15:36 < Kira0802> So a pending project without a teaser tag becomes something like Moku-something Alice 15:36 < hayashi> we are getting rid of the deadline 15:36 < hayashi> translators won't have the need to tag their work as a teaser anymore, right? 15:36 < cloudii> No, they do 15:36 < hayashi> since they won't be under any deadline 15:36 < krytyk> aren't we changing the purpose of atp? 15:36 <+Lord-Simon> Vote yes or no to remove the deadline in the teaser. 15:37 < cloudii> there is no deadline for teaser... 15:37 < cloudii> there's a deadline for ATP 15:37 < krytyk> one sec simon, we discussed more so let's make a more complete conclusion for a vote 15:37 < rock96> ^what he said 15:37 <+Lord-Simon> ATP, sorry. 15:37 < Kira0802> Yea for ATP 15:37 < hayashi> ok 15:37 < hayashi> uh 15:37 <&DarkoNeko> people, it doesn't look like we will arrive to an agreement for the teaser and ATP thing today. I think it would be better for a small group to work on it on the side and then propose it on the forum/another meeting once it's ready 15:37 < hayashi> I'm gonna type out what I think 15:37 < krytyk> no. Cloudii, formulate a statement 15:37 <&DarkoNeko> we're having a good discussion and all, but at this rate we won't have time for any of the other subjects 15:37 < victorrama> True 15:37 < cloudii> um 15:38 < hayashi> teasers should be kept as teasers, but the atp deadline should be removed so that future translators have more flexibility 15:38 < hayashi> does that make sense? 15:38 < cloudii> We should remove the 1 week deadline for ATP 15:38 < Kira0802> yes, hayashi 15:38 < cloudii> require ATP to be tagged with all new project pages 15:38 < Vallor> Are you saying that teasers and new projects are the same thing? New projects should be in the LN category and teasers in a teaser category, that's all. 15:38 < cloudii> including Teaser pages 15:38 < cloudii> so the purpose of ATP 15:38 < cloudii> is for a mod to check the page 15:38 < hayashi> oh I'm saying teasers are seperate from new projects 15:38 < hayashi> any new project will have to be to tagged with ATP 15:38 < cloudii> but if the page is satisfactory, ATP can be removed 15:38 < hayashi> ^ 15:38 < cloudii> the teaser tag is kept 15:38 < cloudii> that's my proposal 15:38 < krytyk> mm, ATP for all projects that have at least 1 chapter not including prologue. And then the ATP pages are to be judged by a mod. 15:39 < krytyk> isnt that better cloudi 15:39 < Kira0802> @Vallor Pending approval are reffered as New projects here, vallor 15:39 < Lery> Actually the teaser tag should mean that it was translated just for fun and it's there to be discovered but that nobody is currently working further on it, isn't it ? 15:39 < cloudii> krytyk's suggestion is also satisfactory 15:39 < Vallor> ATP should be removed, or be added on new projects only. Teaser shouldn't have to be tagged as pending approval... 15:39 < cloudii> @Lery, that was the original definition, but practically that isn't the case anymore 15:39 < Kira0802> @Vallor or rather, those that are created but don't meet the requirements 15:39 < krytyk> thus teasers be teasers and can have just prologue, and ATP is a sign for mod to judge a series. 15:39 < krytyk> that wants to become a full project. 15:39 < cloudii> krytyk's proposal I'm in favor with as well 15:40 < Lery> @cloudii Well, isn't it because of that time limit we're wanting to remove ? 15:40 < hayashi> I'm ok with that 15:40 < cloudii> I would like to remove the time limit as well 15:40 < krytyk> the time limit is unneccesary then 15:40 < cloudii> Someone with supervisor access needs to rewrite the entire tag 15:40 < krytyk> as it already has 1 chapter when the tag is put on. 15:40 < Misogi> May someone clarify the changes and launch the vote? 15:40 < cloudii> http://i.imgur.com/JC6zsLM.png 15:40 < Kira0802> OK, so remove time limit, use tag just for upgrade. 15:40 < Kira0802> Teasers stay teasers. 15:40 < hayashi> sounds good 15:40 < cloudii> 1). Teaser tag is the default tag to be put on new project 15:40 < krytyk> yup 15:41 < cloudii> 2). When the teaser reaches the requirements for full project, translator tags Pending 15:41 < cloudii> 3). Oni/DarkoNeko/Vaelis approve 15:41 < cloudii> that's it 15:41 <+Lord-Simon> yes 15:41 <+Lord-Simon> Or any other Supervisor 15:41 < krytyk> simplifies a ton, and no hanging pending projects in a separate category. 15:41 < cloudii> Can we vote to agree? 15:41 < Kira0802> OK 15:41 < hayashi> simon call for a vote? 15:41 < Misogi> May I add something? 15:42 <+Lord-Simon> We are now voting for cloudii's summary 15:42 < Vallor> By full project, you mean a series completely translated? 15:42 <&DarkoNeko> no 15:42 <+Lord-Simon> Vote yes if you agree, no if you disagree 15:42 < cloudii> full project, meaning like "sidebar project" 15:42 < Kira0802> No, a full project=project in the sidebar 15:42 <&DarkoNeko> okay, please repeat exact what we are voting for, cloudii 15:42 < Vallor> Okay, so I'm agree 15:42 < cloudii> : 1). Teaser tag is the default tag to be put on new project 15:42 <&DarkoNeko> then everyone vote 15:42 < cloudii> : 2). When the teaser reaches the requirements for full project, translator tags Pending 15:42 < cloudii> 3). Oni/DarkoNeko/Vaelis approve 15:42 < cloudii> (or some supervisor) 15:43 <+Lord-Simon> Vote yes or no 15:43 < Kira0802> Yea 15:43 < cloudii> Yes 15:43 < Cthaeh> yes 15:43 < krytyk> yes 15:43 < rock96> Yep 15:43 < hayashi> yes 15:43 < stellarroze> yes 15:43 <+Lord-Simon> if you vote no, explain yourself after the vote 15:43 < Code-Zero> yes 15:43 < Vallor> Yes but what's happened to the deadline? 15:43 < Misogi> Yes (although the Alt. Languages situation should be clarified). 15:43 < hayashi> it will be gone 15:43 < cloudii> We'll discuss that next 15:43 <&DarkoNeko> removed 15:43 <+Lord-Simon> Deadlinewill beremoved 15:43 < cloudii> Okay 15:43 < cloudii> that works too 15:43 < cloudii> <3 15:43 <&DarkoNeko> yes 15:43 -!- Nurin [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 15:43 <&DarkoNeko> well, the point 3 is a bit of pickle, but it seems glboally good 15:43 < Lery> yes 15:43 < krytyk> deadline is removed, as the tag is only to be put after 1 chapter (prologue aside) is to be already finished. 15:44 < Lery> Any supervisor can handle point 3 I thinl 15:44 < cloudii> Onto next point? 15:44 < Lery> Any supervisor can handle point 3 I think* 15:44 <+Lord-Simon> yes 15:44 < Vallor> thAgree with Lery 15:44 < cloudii> Point 3 is like this now, because only those individuals ahve sidebar access 15:44 < Vallor> Agree* 15:44 < Kira0802> ^ 15:44 < cloudii> but if we lose the sidebar, I'm in favor for any supervisor approval 15:44 < Lery> @Cloudii, let's go. Shouldn't we talk about sidebar modification ? 15:44 < Kira0802> it's not anyone who can put projects on the sidebar atm 15:44 < zzhk> so for substandard projects (e.g. no translated content), the deletion template (http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Category:Speedy_Deletion) will be slapped on instead of ATP﹖ 15:45 < cloudii> Thank you zzhk, I agree with that too 15:45 < Misogi> There's the exception of Alt.

What is the next point, then ? 15:46 < cloudii> Point 3 15:46 < cloudii> There are number of instances int he rules 15:46 < cloudii> that require members to "email" supervisors 15:46 < cloudii> ....... 15:46 < hayashi> this is a related point 15:46 < cloudii> Remove all references thereof 15:46 < hayashi> but a lot of the supervisors listed are no longer active 15:46 <+Lord-Simon> yes, looks like it 15:46 < cloudii> of that form of contact 15:47 < Misogi> I agree on making a single page for contact. 15:47 <+Lord-Simon> but if we look at the discussion before 15:47 < krytyk> either forums, direct (irc) contact, or PM 15:47 <+Lord-Simon> we can remove that part 15:47 < Kira0802> Darko 15:47 < zzhk> speaking of "supervisors", we should prioritize the issue of wiki supervisor protection rights 15:47 <&DarkoNeko> let's do it properly people 15:47 <+Lord-Simon> as any supervisor will go through newly created project 15:47 <+Lord-Simon> if they have the tags 15:47 <&DarkoNeko> Lord-Simon, starting the vote ? there's not much to discuss here XD 15:47 < cloudii> Actually, I really want to echo zzhk here (if DarkoNeko is capable of doing anything abou tit) 15:47 <+Lord-Simon> Wait 15:48 < Vallor> Misogi is right. A single page of contact is good enough. 15:48 <+Lord-Simon> We are talking about a mail-list creating 15:48 <+Lord-Simon> *creation. 15:48 < cloudii> Um, acutally yeah 15:48 <&DarkoNeko> argh, what 15:48 <+Lord-Simon> mailing list 15:48 < cloudii> DarkoNeko I neglected to explain half of my thing 15:48 <&DarkoNeko> I don't want that, i hate mails 15:48 < Lery> @zzhk, we're waiting for TLG before talking about those administrative problems ;) 15:48 < cloudii> so, the issue is 15:48 <&DarkoNeko> no way i'm getting on another mailing list 15:48 < cloudii> currently members are told to contact "A supervisor" 15:48 < cloudii> preferably all of them 15:48 < cloudii> but we all know that they usually only contact one 15:49 < cloudii> but if a translator looking for project approval 15:49 <+Lord-Simon> That's why a mailing list 15:49 < cloudii> posts on TLG's talk page 15:49 < cloudii> clearly it's not going to get lookd at 15:49 <+Lord-Simon> or one mail, that sens to many 15:49 < Misogi> "Create a single location on the Wiki where administrative requests can be made.", as Cloudii wrote in his topic. 15:49 < Kira0802> Can we just create a page on the Wiki for "Requests" or something? 15:49 < Lery> Yeah, that's a major problem. 15:49 <&DarkoNeko> no no no 15:49 <&DarkoNeko> not a mailing list. 15:49 <+Lord-Simon> What else ? 15:49 < cloudii> If we have no mailing list, it's okay too 15:50 < Lery> We could either use a topic on the forum for that purpose, or a dedicated Wiki page, couldn't we ? 15:50 < Kira0802> So a wiki page? 15:50 <&DarkoNeko> especially when we can just have a maintenance page dedicated to that on the wiki 15:50 < cloudii> "Create a single location on the Wiki where administrative requests can be made." 15:50 < Lery> Or even both 15:50 < cloudii> That's the proposal 15:50 <&DarkoNeko> yes, like a wikipedia's request for deletion, for maintenance, for adminship etc 15:50 < Kira0802> Then...we settle for a wiki page? 15:50 < rock96> um, what about simply forwarding people to the forum directly to make a thread? 15:50 < cloudii> Registration issues with forums 15:50 < cloudii> captcha 15:50 < hayashi> forum wiki integration is a seprate issue 15:50 <&DarkoNeko> the more things directly on the wiki the better 15:50 < cloudii> "Create a single location on the Wiki where administrative requests can be made." 15:50 < Lery> I think that we could go with both : one wiki page for wiki addicts and one forum page for forum addicts... 15:50 < cloudii> Anyone against this? 15:50 <+Lord-Simon> no 15:50 < Kira0802> No 15:50 <&DarkoNeko> no 15:51 <+Lord-Simon> two instances is bad 15:51 < Vallor> A 'Link here the project you would like to be approved' wiki page 15:51 < rock96> guests are allowed to make posts.

Summary? 15:52 < krytyk> Protecting pages a prime example. 15:52 < cloudii> Yup 15:52 < cloudii> 1). Create a single location on the Wiki where administrative requests can be made. This should be at location that all sysops/supervisors monitor. 15:52 < Misogi> Protection -> Yes. 15:52 < cloudii> 2). Assign an individual to clean that page of off-topic and resolved material. (I'll even volunteer myself if no one wants to do it). 15:52 < cloudii> That's it 15:52 < Kira0802> Yea 15:53 <&DarkoNeko> the point 2 is a problem 15:53 < Lery> @DarkoNeko : it's not a problem, you'll handle the wiki request and the supervisors with forum account will handle the forum's ones... 15:53 < krytyk> the same person who grants the requests should delete it 15:53 < Misogi> ^ 15:53 <+Lord-Simon> ^ 15:53 < cloudii> That's fair too <3 15:53 <&DarkoNeko> krytyk, that, yes 15:53 <+Lord-Simon> 1). Create a single location on the Wiki where administrative requests can be made. This should be at location that all sysops/supervisors monitor. 15:53 <&DarkoNeko> but for other stuff, having a pool of people rather than "an individual" is better 15:53 < Vallor> I'm agree with krytyk 15:54 < cloudii> Sure, my wording was bad. My intent was just to say that the page needs to get cleaned 15:54 -!- BrokenTree [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 15:54 < Misogi> "I agree", Vallor. 15:54 < Lery> Having only one individual is always bad, we never know what may happen. 15:54 <+Lord-Simon> 2).

I don't have time to read forums 16:18 < Kira0802> No sign of presence means no one has seen you 16:18 < Kira0802> this includes forums and wiki 16:18 < cloudii> Forum & Wiki or Wiki Only? 16:18 <&DarkoNeko> well, before that, let's do a more genera thing 16:18 < cloudii> vote 16:18 <&DarkoNeko> no, no, no, that's too precise 16:18 < Kira0802> Forum & Wiki 16:18 < cloudii> DarkoNeko explain? 16:18 < Vallor> I'd add social networks/mails as well... 16:18 <&DarkoNeko> so, starting with basics : 16:19 < Kira0802> If a supervisor's not there on the wiki and just on the forums, you can throw a PM at him 16:19 <&DarkoNeko> cloudii, we were talking about inactivity in general, now you're on proejcts supervisors on particular 16:19 < cloudii> project supervisors in general 16:19 < cloudii> in this instance 16:19 < cloudii> because there's only one position for it 16:19 <&DarkoNeko> "anyone with over a year of inactivity will lose his rights on the wiki." 16:19 < cloudii> Are we voting? 16:19 <+Lord-Simon> as a project supervisors 16:19 <+Lord-Simon> *r 16:20 < Kira0802> project admins/supervisors 16:20 <+Lord-Simon> Hmm... 16:20 <&DarkoNeko> do project supervisors have physical rights ? 16:20 < Kira0802> a random editor doesn't need to have his rights revoked, since we don't care 16:20 <&DarkoNeko> I'm talking about wiki groups ^^; 16:20 < Kira0802> project editors can lock pages 16:20 < cloudii> @DarkoNeko. There is no project supervisor wiki group 16:20 < Kira0802> supervisors* 16:20 <&DarkoNeko> then they're on a particular group 16:20 < Kira0802> @cloudii there is 16:20 < Kira0802> well 16:20 < cloudii> there's a wiki supervisor group 16:20 < Kira0802> just "supervisor" though 16:21 <&DarkoNeko> let's do that on a few sets, then. 1) general activity 2) specifically for project supervisor replacement ? 16:21 < cloudii> yes, and we've taken tht�at to mean "Adminstration" 16:21 < Lery> Actually a lot of Project Supervisor aren't even Wiki Supervisors... 16:21 < cloudii> ^^ 16:21 < Kira0802> that's not intended 16:21 < Kira0802> though. 16:21 <&DarkoNeko> all the more reason to have 2 separate motions 16:21 < cloudii> Can we start with DarkoNeko's motion? 16:21 < hayashi> wiki super and project super are two different level right 16:21 <+Lord-Simon> Well, because the projects have two things 16:22 <+Lord-Simon> as supervisor and an admin 16:22 <+Lord-Simon> in name only 16:22 < Misogi> We should rename it with "Project Manager" 16:22 < Lery> What's the point in having an Project Admin and a Project Supervisor, by the way ? What's the differences between both ? 16:22 < krytyk> ^Like misogi says 16:22 < Lery> -an+a 16:22 < krytyk> Supervisor is unclear at this point 16:22 < cloudii> Imo, project supervisor should not have to be an official member of administration 16:22 < hayashi> project admin is a carry over from the old days I think 16:22 < Vallor> Yeah, administrators and supervisors are a big mess, especially for Alt. laguages 16:22 < krytyk> there are wiki supervisors, and project supervisors 16:22 < Kira0802> Alt. languages are a big mess 16:22 < cloudii> I would like project supervisor to be the senior/leading translator 16:22 <&DarkoNeko> we're drfiting away again ._. 16:22 <+Lord-Simon> For me, as I see it. 16:22 < Kira0802> it's not about supervisors/admins for alt projects 16:23 < krytyk> Okay, can I write out few problems and possible solutions? 16:23 < Lery> And the project admin to be someone with Wiki Supervisor Rights ? 16:23 < stellarroze> my oh my 16:23 <&DarkoNeko> krytyk, a bit later~ 16:23 < Kira0802> fuck 16:23 < Kira0802> this is getting confusing 16:23 < krytyk> its for this topic~ 16:23 < stellarroze> merge project supervisors and administrators 16:23 <+Lord-Simon> The project admin is a person who is responsible for the project and that the guidelines of the project are "used/enforced". 16:23 <&DarkoNeko> arg, mergin and renaming LATER 16:23 < Lery> ^+1 16:23 < stellarroze> into one position 16:23 < Kira0802> they are meant for different things 16:23 < Misogi> To avoid confusion, "Project Sup. -> Project Manager". 16:23 < Misogi> Can be anyone. 16:23 <&DarkoNeko> the subject is inactivity and then project supervisor replacement for now 16:23 < Vallor> Admins and supervisors should be a single group renamed on 'project manager' 16:24 <+Lord-Simon> The supervisor is a person who can be contacted and knows some details about that project. 16:24 <&DarkoNeko> all the rest is for after 16:24 < krytyk> we talk about Wiki supervisors or project supervisors darko 16:24 < krytyk> thats the peoint 16:24 < krytyk> point* 16:24 < Kira0802> Imagine the difference of wiki right an editor has in comparison with a TLer. Now, change editor to admin and TLer to supervisor 16:24 < krytyk> make it clear 16:24 < Kira0802> that's how I see the diff 16:24 <&DarkoNeko> I'm talking about inactivity 16:24 <+Lord-Simon> Better is that the Supervisor, is a real supervisor and can lock and protect pages 16:24 < Lery> Inactivity was already well defined I think... 16:24 < krytyk> yes, but you mean supervisors with rights, or project supervisors 16:24 <&DarkoNeko> Lery, but not voted 16:24 < Lery> Lord-Simon +1 16:24 < cloudii> I disagree with Simon 16:25 < Kira0802> Can we just merge Project supervisors with Wiki supervisors? 16:25 < Lery> But the Project Admin, right ? 16:25 <+Lord-Simon> No 16:25 <&DarkoNeko> krytyk, the first point is anyone being in a right group on the wiki, the 2nd point will be about local project (LN) managers 16:25 < krytyk> no 16:25 < krytyk> exactly 16:25 < cloudii> because there's a lot of translators who would like to manage their projects 16:25 <&DarkoNeko> so, let's get the first point ou t of the way, please 16:25 < krytyk> so you talk about wiki supervisors and their inactivity 16:25 < krytyk> now we can vote. 16:25 < cloudii> Actually, I favor going back to DarkoNeko's topic 16:25 <&DarkoNeko> not wiki supervisor. any group with more right than the defaulty 16:25 < Lery> The Project Supervisor becomes Project Manager and the Project Admin has to have Supervisors' rights... 16:26 <&DarkoNeko> http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=Special:ListGroupRights <- we have all those groups 16:26 < Lery> What's the point about voting to define inactivity ??? 16:26 < Vallor> What exactly are we talking about right now? About groups or inactivity? 16:26 <&DarkoNeko> so 16:26 < cloudii> Simon, you're the chair ;) 16:26 < rock96> Shuffling with editors and translators is going to be the pain... 16:26 <+Lord-Simon> Ok 16:26 -!- nanodesuyo [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 16:26 <+Lord-Simon> First of all 16:27 <+Lord-Simon> we are voting for the inactivity period 16:27 < cloudii> Okay, DarkoNeko, can you repeat what we're voting for? 16:27 <&DarkoNeko> "anyone with over a year of inactivity will lose their special rights on the wiki." 16:27 < cloudii> Can we define special rights? 16:27 < Vallor> I don't like the '2 groups' idea... 16:27 <+Lord-Simon> one thing I wanted to say 16:28 -!- masoatwork [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 16:28 -!- masoatwork is now known as victorrama 16:28 <+Lord-Simon> do we really want a year inactivity ? 16:28 <&DarkoNeko> any group they were put in (editor, supervisor, etc) 16:28 -!- Gwilthyunman [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 16:28 < krytyk> anyone above user 16:28 < Vallor> 6 months aren't enough? 16:28 < Kira0802> special rights on the wiki.-->Project supervisor/admins 16:28 < hayashi> ^ 16:28 <+Lord-Simon> My point is 16:28 <&DarkoNeko> Lord-Simon, it's purposelly large for now 16:28 <+Lord-Simon> It is. 16:28 <+Lord-Simon> Because 16:28 < krytyk> 6 months... unless they mentioned being away prior to that 16:28 <&DarkoNeko> I'm fairly sure we have people with 4 years od inactivity in those groups 16:29 <+Lord-Simon> 1. The passwords on the wiki are weak 16:29 <+Lord-Simon> 2 16:29 <&DarkoNeko> even wikipedia gives a 12 months period 16:29 <+Lord-Simon> 2. There is no password change enforcement. 16:29 <&DarkoNeko> both the french and the english version, as far as I know 16:29 < cloudii> Okay, so can I make a proposal? 16:29 <+Lord-Simon> go on 16:29 < Vallor> DarkoNeko: Everyone don't post everyday on Wikipedia... 16:29 < cloudii> 1). One year of inactivty = loss of physical wiki rights 16:29 < cloudii> 2). If you end up coming back, talk to a sysop to be reinstated 16:30 <&DarkoNeko> Vallor, wikipedia admins are supposed to be active epopel 16:30 < Kira0802> fine 16:30 <&DarkoNeko> cloudii, exactly 16:30 < cloudii> vote? 16:30 <&DarkoNeko> approve 16:30 < Kira0802> I can agree on that 16:30 < Kira0802> Yea 16:30 <+Lord-Simon> Ok, vote 16:30 < Cthaeh> vote yes 16:30 < rock96> yes 16:30 < Lery> yes 16:30 < hayashi> mondai nai 16:30 < krytyk> y 16:30 <&DarkoNeko> vote y 16:30 < Vallor> yes 16:30 < victorrama> Yea 16:30 <+Lord-Simon> yes, even if I'm sceptical 16:31 < Vallor> (I'm sure 6 months are good enough though) 16:31 < Kira0802> (Same) 16:31 < cloudii> (I personally don't care) 16:31 < Vallor> ^^ 16:31 < rock96> (Not really) 16:31 * DarkoNeko thinks he already has been inactive for 6 months 16:31 < cloudii> xD but can we move along? 16:31 < rock96> lol 16:31 < Vallor> You can 16:31 <+Lord-Simon> Vote : all approve 16:31 <+Lord-Simon> lol 16:31 < Misogi> Yes 16:32 <&DarkoNeko> well, not recently but somewhere between now and 2006 16:32 <+Lord-Simon> yes 16:32 < cloudii> okay, now onto the topic of the project/wiki supervisors........ 16:32 < Kira0802> You can mark the length with an asterisk if it can be debated 16:32 <+Lord-Simon> Nect point ? 16:32 * Lery laught 16:32 <&DarkoNeko> so, secondary inactivity point, about the project leaders 16:32 < cloudii> OH right forgot 16:32 < cloudii> DarkoNeko's thing xD 16:32 * DarkoNeko blushes 16:32 <&DarkoNeko> what thing ? 16:32 * DarkoNeko hides 16:32 <+Lord-Simon> black thing 16:32 * Lord-Simon blushes 16:32 < cloudii> Okay: we left off on this 16:33 < Vallor> ... 16:33 < cloudii> inactivity defined as: Wiki only or total presence (including social media) 16:33 < Misogi> Total. 16:33 <&DarkoNeko> oh 16:33 <&DarkoNeko> uh. 16:33 < Misogi> I mean, there may be reasons. 16:33 <&DarkoNeko> let's keep that vague 16:33 < Kira0802> dunno for social media 16:33 <&DarkoNeko> let's say forum and wiki both count 16:33 < cloudii> I'm for keeping it vague xD 16:34 < Kira0802> i'm not going to add a random guy on Facebook to talk to him about BT 16:34 < Misogi> "Any lack of presence" 16:34 <+Lord-Simon> Reachability 16:34 <&DarkoNeko> but ... well, social media, as in chatting with them on facebook or twitter ? that's stretching it 16:34 < Kira0802> even though I'm already doing it. 16:34 <+Lord-Simon> that's what we are talking about 16:34 < Lery> Let's say you're active as long as you're sometimes on any BT-media... 16:34 < krytyk> as long as you show signs of life 16:34 < krytyk> lets leave it ambigious 16:34 < krytyk> but everyone knwos what it means 16:34 < Kira0802> Someone can check inactivity 16:34 < krytyk> lets not overcomplicate 16:34 < Lery> Yeah 16:34 <&DarkoNeko> that seems like stretching it 16:34 < cloudii> 1). If a Project Supervisor/Manager appears to be inactive 16:34 < Misogi> Or unless it was told beforehand. 16:35 <&DarkoNeko> we can easily check activity with the last post on the forum, or last edit on the wiki 16:35 <&DarkoNeko> but anything else if but a fuzzy thing, it's not hard data 16:35 < cloudii> 2). A translator may put in a request with Adminsitration, to be instated as the new Project Supervisor 16:35 < Kira0802> Let's settle for "has shown no sign of life" 16:35 < cloudii> and leave it to sysops/admins to decide 16:35 < Vallor> My point is inactivity should be 'people we don't have news since X months' 16:35 < cloudii> on a case-by case basis 16:35 < krytyk> lets discuss the subjects inactivity when we come down to it 16:35 < Lery> We could add in the rule that the said person is first asked through PM wheter (s)he's still active... 16:35 <+Lord-Simon> I'll say no to the no 2 16:35 < Lery> or not* 16:35 <+Lord-Simon> "as the new Project Supervisor" 16:35 < Kira0802> Nay to 2 16:36 < Kira0802> You leave it blank 16:36 < Kira0802> for the time being 16:36 <&DarkoNeko> Lery, hm, I don't really want people to just do 1 edit to keep their rights and then go awol for ayear again 16:36 < Lery> No, I disagree to 2 because we are mixing Project Supervisor with Wiki Supervisor there.... 16:36 < cloudii> okay 16:36 < Misogi> May I propose something? (Will be long) 16:37 < cloudii> go ahead 16:37 < Vallor> DarkoNeko: +1 16:37 < Lery> Well, it'd be more polite from us to warn them first, no ? 16:37 < Misogi> First, rename Project Supervisors into Project Managers. 16:37 < Lery> Imagine we were to remove your Wiki rights because you were inactive for 370 days, you'd be pissed, no ? 16:37 < rock96> We can keep Supervisors busy before they go into the dark again, right? *grin* 16:37 <&DarkoNeko> Lery, I wouldn't notice, since I wasn't there :D 16:37 < Misogi> Anyone can become Manager. 16:37 < cloudii> Misogi +1 16:37 <&DarkoNeko> but from experience, yeah, a few ex wiki admin took it badly 16:37 < krytyk> lets listen to misogi now 16:38 < Kira0802> OK, fine with that 16:38 < krytyk> talking over one another is rude 16:38 <&DarkoNeko> even tho they were warned on their user talk page 16:38 < Vallor> Misogi: +1 16:38 < Lery> It costs us nothing to warn firstly I think 16:38 <&DarkoNeko> yes, a message on talk page 16:38 < Lery> @Misogi +1 16:38 <&DarkoNeko> ok, lemme add that on wiki 16:38 <+Lord-Simon> So, now we have "Project Admin" and "Project Managers" ? 16:39 < cloudii> So in this system: 1) Project Administrators are "Wiki supervisors" 2). Project Managers can be anymore (but preferably head translator) 16:39 <&DarkoNeko> Project Supervisors into Project Managers <- a short reason why ? do they have a particular physicial right currently ? 16:39 < Kira0802> I'm ok with that 16:39 < Misogi> For 1, Supervisors or above. 16:39 <+Lord-Simon> I'm confused by that too 16:39 < cloudii> Project Supervisors have no mod rights, but they have all rights with regards to translations 16:39 < cloudii> like "British English vs. American English" 16:39 < Lery> Well the term is currently misleading since Project Supervisors aren't official Wiki Supervisors 16:39 <+Lord-Simon> Because I see an admin responsible for the project 16:39 < Misogi> Well, it's to avoid confusions between Project and Wiki. 16:39 <&DarkoNeko> so, they're informal translation project leaders, in other words 16:39 < Kira0802> Let's replace project Admins by Wiki supervisor then 16:39 < cloudii> exactly, DarkoNeko 16:40 < Kira0802> no need to stay vague 16:40 <+Lord-Simon> Supervisors is the person who oversees if everything is ok, more or less 16:40 < cloudii> 1).

We could add that if the project manager isn't available, anyone that is should be free to do his role in the interim 16:54 < Kira0802> a week for removal? 16:54 <+Lord-Simon> Week is a good time span. In general. 16:54 < Vallor> That was my point 16:54 < cloudii> Place the power in Administration for mo�aking case-by-case decisions 16:54 < Kira0802> hell, if I'M off to china for 3 months, what happens? 16:54 < cloudii> don't specify a week 16:54 < Cthaeh> opposed to week 16:54 <+Lord-Simon> A week for action 16:54 <&DarkoNeko> and only have a proper, official replacement after the duration of your choice (a month ? 3 months ?) 16:54 <&DarkoNeko> Kira0802, if you warned first it's different 16:54 < Lery> Let's say that two week of non declared hiatus is too much 16:54 <+Lord-Simon> After that, the supervisor has to take a look 16:55 -!- xiiao [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 16:55 < Kira0802> I'll go with 10 days 16:55 < Lery> If you go to china for 3 months, if you're polite, you would warn first :P 16:55 < Misogi> We'll add that to the admin contact page. 16:55 <+Lord-Simon> ^^taht 16:55 < Misogi> I'll go with one month. 16:55 -!- masoatwork [[email protected]] has joined #Baka-Tsuki 16:55 -!- masoatwork is now known as victorrama 16:55 <+Lord-Simon> Well, Misogi.. 16:56 < Misogi> At least, in case of unexpected absences. 16:56 <+Lord-Simon> If I understand correctly 16:56 <&DarkoNeko> hmm, no matter the choice of duration, i propose to add "a project manager may designate someone as interim if he knows he'll be unavailble for a while" 16:56 <+Lord-Simon> it's all about the Translators and the Adminst 16:56 <+Lord-Simon> *managers 16:56 < Lery> As long as we distinguish the non-announced hiatus from the announced ones... 16:56 <+Lord-Simon> Ok, the situation: 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> There is a TL that is translating a novel 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> He requests an action or coordination from the manager 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> The manager does not respond 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> 1 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> day 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> 2 days 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> 3 days 16:57 <+Lord-Simon> and it goes on. 16:57 < Misogi> Ah, that ? 16:58 <+Lord-Simon> What is the limit, where you patience runs out. 16:58 < Misogi> Well, if it's the delay of contact, then 1-2 weeks will be good. 16:58 < cloudii> I'm in favor of 2 weeks 16:58 < Kira0802> 10 days 16:58 < cloudii> of unexcused absense 16:58 < hayashi> 1 week 16:58 < cloudii> "undeclared absense" 16:58 <&DarkoNeko> I propose to vote on one thing we probably all gagree with first 16:58 <&DarkoNeko> "If a project manager knows they'll be away for a while, they should designate a subtitute to take all decisions in their absence" 16:59 < cloudii> Sure 16:59 < hayashi> that I can agree with 16:59 <+Lord-Simon> yes 16:59 < rock96> no prob 16:59 <&DarkoNeko> one advance of saying that upfront is that everything else will necessary only apply to unannounced absences 16:59 < Vallor> of course 16:59 <&DarkoNeko> advantage* 16:59 < Lery> alright 16:59 * DarkoNeko add "the following only apply for unannounced absences" 17:00 < Misogi> Let's resume it. 17:00 <&DarkoNeko> ok 17:00 < hayashi> 1 week 17:00 < cloudii> Let's do nominations then votes? 17:00 <+Lord-Simon> ^ 17:00 < Lery> Let's do it two weeks then. 17:00 < cloudii> kira nominated 10 days 17:00 < cloudii> any other nominations? 17:00 * DarkoNeko groans 17:01 < cloudii> 1). 1 week 2). 2 weeks 3). 10 days 17:01 < cloudii> vote 17:01 <&DarkoNeko> I don't like having precise times for that 17:01 < Lery> Anyway, after one week of waiting, I guess anybody would already have contacted the Supervisor... 17:01 <&DarkoNeko> it's... too bureaucratic 17:01 < cloudii> Are they contacting the supervisor to ask if they can fill the position? 17:01 < Lery> Let's say : as soon as it reaches an Admin's ear and that it has been more than 10 days, then... 17:01 <&DarkoNeko> "if a request to the project manager goes unanswered within a few days, then [contact the supervisor for opinion]/[do the thing]" ? 17:02 <+Lord-Simon> My suggestion is: 1) 1 week missing and the project staff complains, reconsider the management and talk to them. 2) 2 weeks of non-activity or response, the place will be changed with another person 17:02 <+Lord-Simon> ^^ 17:02 <&DarkoNeko> hmm 17:02 <&DarkoNeko> so, after the first week, you designate a de facto substitute 17:02 <&DarkoNeko> and after [x] weeks, that person becomes the official project manager 17:02 <+Lord-Simon> Like that. To have at least a person who can do that 17:02 < Lery> Hell, that's a detail, don't we have tons of other matters to discuss ??? 17:02 <+Lord-Simon> or answers in time 17:02 < cloudii> imo… that feels even more bureaucratic…. but whatever 17:03 <&DarkoNeko> well, that imply that proijects have more than one person XD 17:03 < Lery> That's fine so 17:03 < Lery> Let's go with it 17:03 < Misogi> Just tell that it's a case-by-case request. 17:03 < Lery> Vote 17:03 <&DarkoNeko> with it, which one lol 17:03 < Kira0802> let's leave it tp "1 week to 2 weeks"? 17:03 -!- arczyx [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds] 17:03 < Kira0802> leave it to* 17:03 <&DarkoNeko> "after a while" ? 17:03 < Kira0802> we can redefine that 17:03 <+Lord-Simon> "1) 1 week missing and the project staff complains, reconsider the management and talk to them. 2) 2 weeks of non-activity or response, the place will be changed with another person" 17:03 <&DarkoNeko> hmm 17:03 <+Lord-Simon> "so, after the first week, you designate a de facto substitute" 17:03 <+Lord-Simon> "and after [x] weeks, that person becomes the official project manager" 17:04 < Kira0802> I can agree with that 17:04 < cloudii> 1 week missing de facto, 1 month official 17:04 <+Lord-Simon> also 17:04 <+Lord-Simon> " 17:02:05 Lord-Simon" 17:04 <+Lord-Simon> fauck 17:04 <+Lord-Simon> " "if a request to the project manager goes unanswered within a few days, then [contact the supervisor for opinion]/[do the thing]" ?" 17:04 < cloudii> Actually, I favor Simon's more xD 17:04 < Kira0802> consult others first, then do it 17:05 < Kira0802> if there's disagreement, go to supervisor 17:05 < cloudii> if a request to the project manager goes unanswered within a few days, then [contact the supervisor for opinion] and ask to become the de-facto project manager? 17:05 < cloudii> That's what it translates to for me 17:05 <&DarkoNeko> uh, let's do a mix, then 17:05 <&DarkoNeko> "1) if a project manager is missing (minimum a week, and decision to take) and the project staff complains, reconsider the management and talk to them.
