Re: [Inkscape-docs] website moderation policy final / teams?

Hi Maren, Martin, I seem to be having some trouble publishing. The gear icon spins but nothing else happens.

All best, brynn

Hi Brynn,

Hi Friends, Since there have been no further comments regarding website moderation policy, I've made the changes to the CoC that we discussed.

- It's not published yet, was that intentional or were you waiting for some confirmation?

   Most of those who commented about being retroactive, thought

since the policy was not existing at the time, we should not delete images uploaded before this date (or the members who uploaded them). (So we can vote those old ones that I flagged, back in now.)

- Done. There are still a couple of images where Martin voted to remove, but we didn't... those are stuck in the queue.

   I started to put out a call for volunteer moderators (on the

To-Do List page, and also posting in forums and mailing lists) except I wasn't sure about the wording. I was going to say something like "Volunteers are needed to join the Website Team as Moderators."

   But then I realized there's no such thing as a Website Team, and

actually it's a Website Editors team....which I'm not sure if moderators would be subset of editors... Hhmm, maybe so?

- I'd say we can make one. Would you like to provide the icon?

   Anyway, I seem to recall there was some mention of possibly

creating a Moderation Team. But before I post something like "Volunteers are needed to form a/join the Website Moderation Team" maybe we should decide if Moderators need their own team?

   This might be another subject, but pursuant to all the recent

discussion and movement towards getting the French manual translated, so we can find update and expand it, I wonder if we need to think about a Documentation Team?

- I think it's not urgent, because communication might happen within the Booktype website (they have groups and chat). Generally, I believe it would be a good idea.

   Since Martin is the website guru, he probably has an idea what

would be best here. Personally, I can't think of a reason for a formal moderation team. But there may be one (or more), that make sense, that I just never realized.

- Permissions ;-)

   Thoughts, comments?

All best, brynn

Hi Friends, It seems like this last message about moderation policy got buried in all the recent important chatter. So I'm re-sending the most vital parts of it, so we can finish this up. For convenience, https://inkscape.org/community/coc/ And here's the suggested change:

In the Guidelines for User-Submitted Content section, replace

"Art and other content submitted to the Inkscape website should adhere to the following rules:"

with

"Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape (e.g. created with Inkscape, created for use with Inkscape, showing how to work with Inkscape, etc.). We reserve the right to remove any content that does not seem appropriate or does not adhere to the following obligatory rules:"

Little thing, but "created for use with Inkscape" could cover things

like just regular images... in fact it could cover just about anything, even things made with Adobe Illustrator. I'd simply cut that bit out.

Hhmm.....yes, I see what you mean. My interpretation of that, is for things like extensions or filters. But maybe there's a better way to say it?

What about "created to be installed in Inkscape"? Or maybe just "to be installed in Inkscape"? That would eliminate any kind of image. Any other suggestions out there? Eduard?

I wonder about adding "Inkscape Project"? Such as: "Content uploaded to the gallery should be related to Inkscape or the Inkscape Project (e.g. created...." That would cover things like a website graphics or page mockup, board meeting transcript, etc.

...

If there's a significant amount of undesirable content currently, it's

probably best to make it retroactive. If it's just a few things, then we should approach the owners about it. Not to be pushy, but to inform them of the new policy.

To me, it's a significant amount. By my estimate, probably 1 or 2 thumbnails per page of the gallery are random photos! So that's way too many to consider trying to contact them.

Personally, I would love to delete them without notice. But since the policy was not available at the time they uploaded, technically I think it's not fair to delete them. But they'll soon be shuffled further and further back, as the gallery grows. I'm happy just to get the policy settled and put it into effect.

Thanks everyone for taking the time, and helping to finalize this issue. As far as I know, this will be the last step before we can start recruiting moderators, and using the system officially.

All best, brynn
