Organising stuff!

[randomling]

So as you may have seen, I got inspired to do a round-up of suggested actions!

It'd be nice to do a round-up every week, I think, though with the current level of activity I think it might not reward the effort too well. Maybe monthly? I'm going to start trying to post more suggested actions and keep an eye out for useful stuff as it comes up on Twitter/Facebook/etc, I think.

We also talked about having a weekly check-in, and I'd still like to set up some stuff to do with tagging. I don't think we'll need a weekly rota unless we get a serious boost in activity, but again... maybe a monthly thing?

Which is to say, maybe we could talk about:

A person a month volunteering to do tag-modding (basically: going through posts and making sure there are tags and they're reasonably up-to-do)
A person a month posting a round-up of current viable activities (weeding out the stuff that's expired or no longer relevant, adding new stuff, posting the list)
A person a month posting a check-in post

The check-in post is reasonably low-effort once we have a template, but the other two are fairly admin-ey tasks. I feel like I'd be up for doing one of these a month regularly, so I probably only need 2-3 people to spot me.

Is anyone up for helping to, say, take on the tag-modding in May, and I'll grab the round-up?

(Also I'm up for discussing different approaches to this, so please feel free to weigh in on this entire idea!)

This is a good idea, and I'd be up for tag-modding a month. May should be doable.

[randomling]

Ack! Sorry to take so long to get back to you, sylvaine! That would be great.

I'll do my best to get it all up to date before May 1st. XD

[sylvaine]

No worries! I know how it is, with replying to things... *looks at date* *coughs*

I think you need to either add me as admin or change the permissions wrt who can edit tags on posts? As far as I can tell, I can't do anything with tags atm.

[randomling]

OH DUH. Give me a few!

[randomling]

Okay, have invited you to the comm - when you hit join you should have admin access.

Let me know if you have any other problems! <3

[sylvaine]

Awesome, that worked! <3 Gone and updated the tags on May's posts so far, yay :D

[randomling]

You rock! <3

[sylvaine]

Coming back to say, ooooooh, this is why I'm admin for this comm! xD I honestly couldn't remember at all how that had come about! (It was very useful, though, since it meant I could look at the code for the sticky post and finally figure out how to make those text boxes happen! xD)

[randomling]

[grin]

I am really grateful to you for taking it on!

[sylvaine]

Speaking of which - uh, is there something I should be doing as a mod of this comm? /o\

[randomling]

Wow I'm so sorry for leaving this nearly a month!

However: I really don't think so? I mean, just one thing is going up, and I haven't honestly been keeping up with all the comments but it doesn't seem like there are any terrible fires happening?

<3 You're doing great!

[sylvaine]

Okay! <3 I know it's not very helpful to say "let me know if you need anything", but, uh, let me know if I need to be doing anything? xD

[randomling]

Thanks, I will!
