While I emphasized the importance of rules, accountability, etc. I don't want to put the cart before the horse. I think the first order of business will be to decide what our goals are and what structures we want to use to accomplish them.<br /><br />You mentioned the issue of assigning work. I'm not 100% clear whether this means in terms of developing the IT or in getting articles written and documents published once that is finished. In the case of the former, there are fairly well established mechanisms for doing this with open source software. I mentioned on another thread that Github could be used for the IT development stuff and it has many of these sorts of features and can integrate with some other services providing more advanced tools. It is used by some pretty large open source projects, so presumably it scales well. We may want to consider using similar strategies for our workflow once the IT is finished.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829113438211196212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960823575559189442.post-37442782541763383632016-06-14T21:06:28.116+01:002016-06-14T21:06:28.116+01:00All sounds good.

I've added a 'recent comments' section and will look into email notifications, feeds etc. <br /><br />BTW, could you (& David P) send an email to strategy{at sign}labourroots.uk, so I have email contact (to be used sparingly!)Tim Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15237522140184882034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3960823575559189442.post-20283721163885431412016-06-14T16:52:29.895+01:002016-06-14T16:52:29.895+01:00... v quick comments - I like your name 'Labou...... v quick comments - I like your name 'Labour Roots'. There's someone in Rushcliffe who does graphics design - Umaar Kazmi - he did posters for JC events last summer. Once we have a clearer definition, I could ask him to have a think?<br /><br />I'm attracted to the idea of the four of us being some kind of 'steering committee' - something that becomes quickly obvious (having joined the Party) is that given the 'work' we do is voluntary, this creates all kinds of problems that don't exist in an employed, work context where we'd all have clear roles and just did the things we were good at (in a perfect world). My point is that the organisational issues seems important, more important than I'd like but that's how it is.<br />John Walsh<br /><br />PS I’m interested to see how this blog ‘notifies’ or ‘signals’ that a comment has been submitted – it’s easy to not see them (Left Futures has the ‘last 8 post’ list on the right – a deceptively clever way to help make sure you see what is going on).<br />John Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05962574235469005557noreply@blogger.com
