<div class="moz-cite-prefix">@Wim: Welcome! Once the meeting time
is set, try to make it to the meeting. You're free to help :D. I'm
sure you've already read the <a
href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Style_Guide">
Style Guidelines</a> and are familiar with <a
href="http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Meta:Guides/Templates">templates</a>
for formatting. Your technical writing skills will be a nice
addition to this team.<br>
<br>
@Board: Just a refresher on SCRUM roles: <a
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_%28development%29#Roles">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrum_(development)#Roles</a>
. We can switch off roles throughout the year if desired.<br>
<br>
Product/Doc Owner -The "Leader" of the team : I nominate Kesten
since he is organizing a first meeting. <br>
<br>
Scrum Master: I would like to help out with the Scrum Master since
I was posting in the IRC and helped get this off its feet. If
someone else thinks they can also help fulfill this position, feel
free to speak up - An additional few people to switch off with is
always nice. <br>
<br>
Dev/Doc Team - if you're on the mailing list, this is your role :<br>
<ol>
<li> At the beginning of each (week/ 2 weeks/ month) , you will
be given a list of assignments. <br>
</li>
<ol>
<li>Assignments will either be distributed via dictatorship
model, or a first-come-first-serve model. <br>
</li>
</ol>
<li>After you complete your doc assignment, you will be expected
to review at least 3 other completed docs from other people in
a round-robin fashion.</li>
<li>After a doc's page is reviewed by 3 dev/doc team members
and/or the Product/Doc owner, it will come off the task list.</li>
<li>A 1-5 day period will be allocated for the dev/doc team to
find 1-4 pages to add to the queue of assignments for the
following week.<br>
</li>
</ol>
If you would like to edit, modify, or critique this method, feel
free to do so. <br>
Perhaps we can use<a
href="https://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=amdbcg%40gmail.com&ctz=America/Chicago">
Google Calendar</a> for the schedule? <br>
<br>
@Kesten: The meeting sounds fine. I'm not sure If I can make it
due to my job, but I will try. Can you have someone take notes? <br>

a version control of sorts. I believe it is
"built in" to the wiki framework and should just
need enabling.<br>
<br>
This way, at times when our reviewer to
contributor count is too low we could allow
contributions to be pushed live before review with
a note that "This page needs review" like
wikipedia has. If the new contribution is really
"messed up" then the change could be reverted (but
not destroyed). <br>
<br>
When our reviewer team is functioning, then we
could tighten up the process to 'push live".<br>
<br>
I'm currently doing some review for Jim's work on
BGE, but I haven't been trained by one of the core
members, so i'm not sure if i'm missing anything.
We're also not clear on the procedure to push live
once a page has been reviewed.<br>
<br>
This page should be used to track our work in
progress.<br>

My vote is for a wiki-team scrum on IRC asap where
we can hash out a short term plan for the next
month or two that is satisfactory to all. How
about wed night?<br>

<br>
I agree that the review process is not
working, at this point the<br>
community is just too small to have a process
this formal. People<br>
can't take responsibility immediately, they
start first making small<br>
changes, and later might get more involved and
be ready to take on<br>
responsibility. But there's not much point in
doing that before they<br>
have worked for a while to convince themselves
and others that this is<br>
something they want to do.<br>
<br>
Not sure what the right answer is, but I think
the reviewing process<br>
should be relaxed. At least small changes like
documenting a new<br>
option and the type of cleanups mentioned at
the top of manual pages<br>
should be allowed without review. Why not do
that and have a few<br>
people monitor recent changes? I'd volunteer
for that.<br>
