Discussion
I love the description of a project above, where new people can come to a place and get involved. And, I think our use of Meetings pages hinders that goal, currently. Here's a point of view:
- Meetings are a means to an end, the advancement of a project.
- Face to face meetings are only one way we communicate. We also use ad hoc IRC, ad hoc skype, scheduled skype, phone calls, etc.
- If a meeting is about organizing a project, the outcome of that meeting is an enchanced project page, with more clear goals, more clear upcoming tasks, more clear "completed" tasks, more clear roles to be filled or that are filled, etc.
- If the meeting is actually doing some work (parallel pairing, or some such), then work is actually getting done and the results of that work getting done can also appear on the project page.
- If a meeting goes of into "Thoughts On" territory, that can be documented on a linked "Thoughts On ..." page, without cluttering up the project page.
- There is not need for a specific "meeting" page for a particular meeting, unless there's a reason, for some reason. We don't need a page for every IRC interaction or skype phone call. It's just communication. The work is the work, and that's on the project pages.
Just thoughts. What are yours? TedErnst
This is an OngoingProject
Why are we doing this:
What we can measure, we can change.
We know we are done each day when the following tasks have been completed
The agreed upon metric has been captured.
Actionable Tasks
- Meet to report on Recent Changes metric
- Meet to decide if we should implement Quality of the recent changes tool in edits.
- Meet to decide on Welcoming Metric
