[Ktechlab-devel] The thoughts of a quiet observer

[Drew Noakes]

I just checked the site and there hasn't been any change to the home page.  What do I have to do to get these changes made?
Also, there are some spelling mistakes on the front page.   Intergated -> Integrated.   Transfered -> Transferred.
I'm happy to make the site changes if required -- I just need access.  If that's an issue then please would someone take 5 minutes to tidy this up?
Summary of changes:
    In TOC, make About -> http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=KTechLab
    Make Get Involved! -> http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involved
    Fix spelling.
Thanks,
Drew.

Subject: [Ktechlab-devel] The thoughts of a quiet observer


Firstly, as a quiet observer of this list I'd like to share my concern for the future of this project in the hope of increasing the apparent size of the list's readership.  I don't know how many people are on this list, but I suspect there are quite a few others in the same situation as me.
 
OSS is inherently globally distributed which offers a fantastic opportunity for talented people with similar interests to collaborate.  At the same time it could be very beneficial for the project if collaborators were actually able to meet in person.  We are social animals and in my professional experience with off-shore offices and outsourcing, the productivity of the distributed working relationship is greatly improved once the people involve meet face-to-face.  Depending upon where contributors are located, regional meet ups might be possible.  Perhaps we could enhance the wiki area for this...

Anyway, to the real purpose of this email.
 
I visited ktechlab.org just now and noticed that the "Get Involved" and "About" links point to pages with the text: TODO
 
http://www.ktechlab.org/about.htm
http://www.ktechlab.org/involved.htm
 
Holding pages like these make the project look immature and abandoned which is not the image I'd like to see accompany such a promising project, especially at such a critical time.
 
Let's make the "About" page point to: http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=KTechLab
 
For the "Get Involved!" page I created a new wiki page: http://www.ktechlab.org/wiki/index.php?title=Get_Involve  ...please review this page and add any additions/modifications as you see fit.  I placed a slightly-out-of-place link to it on the front page.d
 
Let's do everything we can to encourage potential new contributors to join this project.
 
Long Live KTechLab!
