# Various approaches to completely overhauling the moderation setup
# have been brought up over the past couple of years. Kent Landfield
# asked the active moderators (me :) several times about turning it
# into a database-backed, web-interfaced system. It's always sounded
# like a dandy idea to me, but nobody's ever had the necessary
# combination of time, inclination, and knowledge to do it.
Yep.
# I have the inclination and part of the knowledge: I know how the
# system works now (or how it did a year or so ago), and what needs it
# has to fill. But I don't have the time nor the technical skills to
# move it to the web. To anyone who does have those other pieces, I
# offer whatever help I can give in the form of answering questions
# about the present setup.
Great. This would be a big help!
# In all honesty, though, I think the best way to know what needs to be
# done is to do it for a while. That is, once the current group of new
# moderators is solidly entrenched, they could train one or two others.
# The latter people would *quit* moderating as soon as they learned it,
# and concentrate on writing new tools. We may not need 10 active
# moderators, but there's no way the same small group can both keep up
# with moderation tasks and revamp the system.
I can easily understand that. :) I volunteer as one of the two.
Note to all: I have had enough people say that a separate mailing
development list is a good idea. The purpose would be to provide a
forum for discussing the revamping of the moderator software/process.
Since this could generate a bit more traffic than some on the
faq-maintainers list would like, I'll be putting up a new list later
in the week. I'll announce the list specifics here.
