I agree with all of your points guys, is all common sense practice. I am not to much in learning by mistakes as the only things you learn by mistakes is what "not to do" the next time a similar problem occour but they don't tell you…

I was doubting about naming, and decided mentioning a user name in this case would be justified because it was functionally useful if not necessary while that information was out there already with the thread being linked to somewhere above. But do…

A few ideas on thinking through whether or not to name someone:
- Is it critical to the point? Could the point be made without naming the individual? If so, maybe it's best not too.
- Is the individual someone who we are praising? If so, I say…

@Lawrence I will not argue with you (btw, this was made with WordPress) "We'll agree on disagree I guess".
I second Ewout and bringing things back to topic. Some interesting thoughts there.

First coming back to Nick's post, as things stand the people portal is becoming a success and in my view that covers the key objective: bringing people together to facilitate collaboration. The implementation was much faster than I ever…

@Brian & @Marcos,
Statement is actually based on this: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2010/03/how-to-kill-the-design-community/ and the subsequent comments, ironically on a discussion about community engagement. Odesk, GetAFreelance and…

I don't know how many of you have purchased JomSocial, but I do, so probably the who thread about its license, availability etc. could end very quickly, however it turned in a drama.
JomSocial version 1.7 (beta of 1.8) is available for their…

"with the largest pool of underpaid workers for Joomla being within the 2nd & 3rd world, including the Subcontinent, they could simply game PJO." /me not at easy with that statement, not necessary imho. Don't see the direct link...

My thoughts..
OK. End goal is to have people network on people.joomla.org (PJO). Social engagement will be a different ballgame. As always, the bar is set at the domain level. This seems counter intuitive from where I stand. It's a social…

Are we rehashing the decision by joomla.org to use JomSocial instead one of the other also capable Community orientated extensions available on people,joomla.org ?

@Amy: Thanks for verifying what I said and confirming my comment.
I agree, the people site could in fact be a great thing for the community - at least it has the potential if it is not moderated as a forum. This is a totally different mentality…

Inquiry: "Hey, I love that software running People! What is it and where do I buy it?"
Response: To purchase the software the Joomla! project uses to power people.joomla.org must you must select a proprietary version.
In the future (not…

@Jacques Rentzke:
first of all thanks for commenting ...
Regarding the points you are making:
The thread was locked and no message of locking it or reason for lock was available at lock time. I reported the thread - my report was deleted but at…

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

All I can say is, OMG! If people.j.org was meant to rescue the project from splintering, given the current governance it's having the opposite effect. Moreover, why not actually start from a position of trust, allowing people.joomla.org to grow…

I loved it.... the sense of chaos, excitement, fun and energy emanating from People.Joomla yesterday was truly wonderful. It truly was a global community.
Sure some people tried to take advantage but it seemed to me to be a small minority.
It seems…

Learning from mistakes - viewing from a distance ...
First of all I think the portion of the title "viewing from a distance" should be taken as a note that I have not been involved in the internal decision making process of the Joomla people site that has recently gone into beta mode. I am not even aware if there was a formal process in place.
However, it has become obvious to me and to others that matters of such concern should have been thought-out better from the start instead of creating a… Continue
