I volunteer for any client side coding Evolt might need (ie. template
building according to the new design). Guaranteed to work in all browsers,
any (X)HTML flavour, accessibility ascertained, nifty W3C DOM scripts that
degrade nicely, the works. If you need me, mail me.
Also I'm thinking of working on the article comments. Maybe writing a nice
script for showing comments will be useful in my eternal quest for the Right
Use of the W3C DOM, and in any case I'd like a better way to go through
really long pages of comments (see my own articles for examples) and to
somehow filter out boring ones.
QUESTION: What (if anything) would you like to see changed in the way
comments are *presented*, especially when there's a humunguous lot of them?
QUESTION: Judge the comments (a bit Slashdot-like) and hide the bad ones.
Good idea or bad?
>We need to refocus our groups, delegate tasks ... decide which tasks to
>delegate etc.
QUESTION: Are the five groups still active? If so, would it be possible for
all five of them to present some sort of report? You know, problems solved,
new problems encountered, general strategy etc. They don't need to be long,
as long as they give an overview.
The task group structure has been in place for over a year now and I'd like
to know how it works in practice. From Elfur's mail I get the idea it isn't
really working splendidly, but I interpret Martin's mail as saying that the
system does work.
>But first and foremost, we need a person willing to take over the whip.
Not me. My first priority is to whip myself into action during the worst
heat wave in anyone's memory.

I think you should allow for slightly more time. It's still holiday season,
so some people who are willing to be Chief Whip might still be away from
their computers.
