Lahore Meetings

11 June 2007

Today's meeting raised a number of issues:

• Some of the projects are not clearly defined. Some do not even have a description page and so it is impossible to understand what the initiator of the project had in mind when it was started. It was suggested that every new project needs to be clearly defined.
• It was noticed that most of the patrolling was done by the Portland staff and a shift of balance between the two offices was required. We need to pull our weight. It was suggested that we should aim for at least 500 patrols per day to take the load off Portland.
• There is a need for more co-ordination so that the two offices work in unison on the various projects.
• There need to be a point of contact for the Lahore office who we can turn to if and when problems arise. Mark Dilly was suggested.
• Asma Khan our most recently recruited staff member needs sysop status.

Staff in Lahore have chosen to work in the following areas:

Wasim

• OnGoing maintenance - his interests include proof reading, making links and general housekeeping activities.
• Welcoming/Patrolling
• Working on WikiArticles with Tak
