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.

The main problem we had last week was that we were waiting for a response from Bahria Town. We had asked for further information on what they would like us to add to their portal. As yet we have not had a response but we intend to move ahead this week and gather into from their website to write a few articles. We have been helping Scott with category culling and will continue to do some work on that over the week.

It would be really great to use this page to document the work on refactoring the project space that's been happening the last day or two. Others could then help, if they know what the idea is! TedErnst
