Dear list,
this posting started as a private mail to Barend, but once it was written it wanted to be posted here :)
Thanks for sending me a public e-mail ;-)
Hi Barend,
your points about Vladamir's Declaration of Results are good ones, also your proposals for improvement. I tried to write a posting but somehow I lack motivation.
I think the review wizards, after the discussion about Review Manager Assistants startet to accept newcomers as RMs like Chad Nelson and Ed Diener which they did not do in the past.
I think this is much better than only waiting for seasoned boosters to volunteer and it is simpler as the RMA model. Chad and Ed for example seem to be doing good jobs.
Sure!
Long time boosters on the contrary tend to be less enthusiastic as RMs: The summarizing fault of Volodya, (excessive) delays or MIA-phenomenons are IMO symptoms of such lack of motivation.
This doesn't mean to blame anyone in particular. It's just part of the boost game. First time contributors have more motivation and excitement.
Basically I still think we should harness this structure by giving newcomers more responsibility, and as I said, I see this happening, even though in a different way as proposed by me. OK, I understand; there were/are a number of reviews in a row now, so
Maybe. Another reason is that they are very busy with other good Boost-things. there is something happening indeed. Regards, Barend
