OK, I don't exactly where to go with it but I'll start a thread. If there
|
|
is sufficient response, maybe we can merge everything into an LDP Charter or
|
|
statement of purpose so at least newcomers will have some idea of the ground
|
|
rules...
|
|
|
|
Here are a couple of ideas to start with...
|
|
|
|
While the Bazaar/Cathedral analogy is good for the authors and creators of
|
|
works, it doesn't seem to fit all that well for volunteers who, while they may
|
|
also be authors, are acting in a role as maintainer or custodian of
|
|
other peoples works.
|
|
|
|
If you have a gate keeper or do any filtering of information submitted by others,
|
|
don't you incur a set of legal and ethical responsibilities kind of like an ISP
|
|
that censors certain words/authors or whatever, as opposed to an AT&T that just
|
|
provides bandwidth and never looks at content?
|
|
|
|
So far all the howto's, guides, and FAQs have been relatively innocuous. What
|
|
happens when someone submits one that is intentionally destructive or
|
|
pornographic or in some other way objectionable?
|
|
|
|
What kind of individual responsibility comes along with being a volunteer? Can
|
|
anyone who volunteers speak with authority for the LDP? Is there any such
|
|
thing as "authority" in the LDP?
|
|
