Sysop meeting 2006-03-15

From eg

The ability to use this wiki to arrange and carry out a sysop meeting 2006-03-15 will be the clearest and most reliable sign that the Ides of March crisis has ended.

Until then, a list of who is trusting who and taking responsibility for what and dire predictions for failure of the status quo if not fixed by then are highest priority. At the meeting the following agenda items must be taken up:

• is this wiki working? If not what other medium, e.g. chat, should be used for now?
  • position: yes; status: two or more active writers, several lurkers.
• any service outages that are actually occurring at that moment
  • if there are any, they should be fixed immediately and diagnosed to prevent recurrence
• review of eg:defer to ensure it is complete and actually gives people the power to do what they need to do without undue consultation
• review of documention, e.g. sysops.be dom0, web configuration, email configuration, and Main Page, to be sure that new trolls can quickly figure it out
• review of eg:support options, including some raised in recent meetings:
  • Green Party of Ontario which needs to run over 100 domains for its candidates in 2007 and can provide tasty tax deductions and support schemes using 25-cent dollars to raise funds - the Trinity-Spadina Greens in particular run programs like this, e.g. Green Wilderness Adventure. There is no reason not to have Green Sysop Adventure.
  • paying by usage
  • paying by level of control, e.g. if lots of people eg:defer to you, that means you have more power and flexibility and can/should use it to run your own crazy experiments, but then you pay for the risk others take by relying on you
  • running a prediction market or revert currency with losers paying the winners for their more accurate predictions or more acceptable consensus statement of issues
