I had a chat with tom steinberg of <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/">http://www.mysociety.org/</a> last night.<br><br>He was very much of the opinion that wiki should be www and www should<br>be edit, and also sung the praises of their volunteer button.
</blockquote><div><br>+1 Agree strongly. There are some proposals for a new improved front page. We can, and we should, switch wiki. and www. immediately.<br><br><br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
If you go to <a href="http://www.mysociety.org/">http://www.mysociety.org/</a> and hit 'volunteer' and play<br>around you'll see what I mean. It's a nice pretty thing atop their bug<br>tracking system. It asigns someone to a task and alerts the developers.
<br>It suggests to the new volunteer that they join a mailing list and get<br>more involved. He said it had been a big boost to their volunteer<br>numbers.<br><br>Could something similar work for us? Would someone like to hack
<br>something like it on top of trac?<br><br>have fun,<br><br>SteveC <a href="mailto:steve@asklater.com">steve@asklater.com</a> <a href="http://www.asklater.com/steve/">http://www.asklater.com/steve/</a><br><br>_______________________________________________
