[Zope] Community chat follow-up: Zope.org volunteering

[Paul Winkler]

Unfortunately I wasn't able to attend the zope community IRC chat
this week, but I read the transcript here:
http://www.zopezen.org/Members/zopista/News_Item.2004-04-13.3929

I wanted to comment on one issue:

<ChrisW> what happened to:
<ChrisW> http://www.zope.org/About/
<ZCBrian> ChrisW: I'm __really__ anxious to get traction on that...
<ZCBrian> ...but so far I haven't heard from anyone ;(
<ZCBrian> Getting the process to work is the key to everything else 

Brian, you've hit the nail on the head with that last comment.

To clarify - you "haven't heard from anyone" - do you mean
you haven't heard from working group leaders, or you haven't
heard from volunteers?

If the latter, please note that to me, it is still not at all
clear *how* to volunteer.  I read http://www.zope.org/About
with interest when it was announced several months ago. 
I noticed that the "Online click-through" agreement mentioned
for content reviewers & site managers does not seem to exist 
(or if it does, I could not find it). 
I suppose one could email the working group leaders and ask about this, 
but their email addresses are not given.

I checked again today, and that's still how things look.
So, from my vantage point it looks like you're still getting the
process worked out and aren't really ready to handle volunteers yet.
Am I wrong?

Please don't take this message as griping, I know you guys don't have a 
lot of time to spend on these issues, and I appreciate your efforts.


P.S.  On http://www.zope.org/About there are several mentions 
of a zweb at zope.org mailing list.  
http://www.zope.org/Resources/MailingLists does not mention a zweb list.
Should that be zope-web at zope.org ?
