[At-Large] R: R: Unsubscribe me please

Folks

A great discussion on this list - making some really important points.  So instead of letting the matter drop (as is so often the case), make this an item for discussion at CPH - and allow plenty of time.  How do we communicate, can we do better and how.  

So maybe review what some of us know - what are the lists, how are they used (or not), when people unsubscribe, do we try to find out why, is there a better way to communicate - by topic?  And Dev, Garth, Seun and everyone - could there be a page or so - to that list and staff, saying this is a better way and this is how to do it.

We are starting the Review comments - and how we communicate (and how we could do it better) is clearly something that should be one of the  top items on that agenda.  So let’s actually make our communications structures better rather than just complain

Thanks everyone 

Holly

Have a web interface that allows people to subscribe to the issue they are concerned about and when they respond via email to a thread it is placed somewhere useful within the interface so people who do NOT use the email list can still interact with you. The overlay of a properly configured interface would also allow people to use the system in a LOCAL language if they choose.

Web technology has evolved considerably, It is entirely possible to have a single interface where all At-Large participants can review current issues and collaborate in queues and streams. Instead of cobbling together a bunch of disparate systems for placing and tracking At-Large work, can we put all the tools in one place like every other effective organization has done. We're not using anything even close to workflow, none of the At-Large "Stuff" is results or goal driven. Log into this for that, log into this other thing for something else. This is a case study in driving our work into the ground.
