Trying to keep in touch with project activities on several mailing lists can get quite absurd. It makes it very difficult to be productive, especially if you only have a limited amount of time to contribute. Not everyone can have IRC channes running 24/7.Helennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-87249642337609842682011-09-08T00:19:08.663+02:002011-09-08T00:19:08.663+02:00oh, I love this post ! Because of pointless bikeshedding I did cut a lot of mailing lists. I love to collaborate but I hate wasting time with useless discussions. Bikeshedding is not thoughtful or constructive but emotional and reactive arguments.Amon0Thoth1http://amon0thoth1.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-8415112748781472852011-09-07T21:23:54.114+02:002011-09-07T21:23:54.114+02:00I don&#39;t agree. The door is to low for my bicycle and I think it&#39;s better to paint it classic dark green with pearl white lines in the joints of the wood. Oh and the door hinges should be red that is the best color for them.Ruurdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12040331610695214599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-26182583369769527302011-09-07T21:23:51.939+02:002011-09-07T21:23:51.939+02:00I don&#39;t know.. the other side of the coin is that the resident forum bullies abuse these hip bad words that net culture has adopted like &#39;bikeshedding&#39; or &#39;trolling&#39; to stop debate and criticism just because they don&#39;t like it.<br /><br />People often raise good issues and debates and are quickly told that they are a troll, or to &#39;stop whining&#39;.johnmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-68707517463070985742011-09-07T16:32:01.215+02:002011-09-07T16:32:01.215+02:00Awesome post, I&#39;m spreading this link to pretty much everyone I know involved in public virtual spaces administration in Central American Communities.<br /><br />Thanks!dMaggothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14586787655627196361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12366865.post-78110528902351722512011-09-07T15:30:13.427+02:002011-09-07T15:30:13.427+02:00+1, great post.<br /><br />Another thing is also that we must cut quite a big amount of slack to our admins. When an admin kicks/bans/warns someone, the admin must have the advantage and really only bothered after discussing with her.<br /><br />If we don&#39;t put trust in our ops/admins/moderators, then it&#39;s pointless. Oh, that&#39;s not free speech? Oh, that&#39;s abuse? Well, step up, prove you&#39;re trustworthy enough to be an admin, and do it. That kind of thing ^^Lokihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15179032995691105618noreply@blogger.com
