Translation teams do it as in src/, basically. If no one is working on a randomly choosen doc, the translator will take it. This is just a thinking, after all the docproj include translation teams, right? > Not really sure what the best way to go about getting things > done around here would be other than: > > Post a list of tasks of mixed sizes, > Request people (people, not committers not contributors) to grab a task, > Commit completed work after some minor/major review, > As one task is completed another is grabbed up. This is actually a great idea, I think. A list providing the task and the person working on it (either a committer or a contributor) will be useful. I was thinking of something like the releng list of tasks (or schedule). Trying to complete some of the task before the upcoming next release. An expected and actual time for the task to be done could somehow `push' the doc hacker to finish it. I have seen a lot of people working on something and then throwing it away and getting something else to work on. Of course, no penalties if the person doesn't finish the task on time ;) By doing this, everybody would be working on a specific task without interfering on the others work. After finishing with one task, then grab another, just as trhodes said. > Hopefully some others will chime in here and let me know how > they feel about this.

I think it will improve the way the docproj works. Lets read opinions. -- Jesus R. Camou <jcamou@COX.net> jcamou@es.FreeBSD.org
