Noticeboard?

[Chris Perry]

Morning all (UK time),

I've clicked Reply on my original post but I've read the replies from
Pasi, Hannie, and Alberto, and I'm continuing the discussion.

Hi Pasi, thanks for your reply. Yes I agree: we need a person willing
to update the noticeboard when needed. Yes I agree: one possibility is
that this person knows a fair amount about what is happening in all
the documentation teams. Another possibility is that this person is
(basically) an admin person who (basically) posts what he/she is asked
to post by the people who know.

[still replying to Pasi:] I take note of your point about not going
too deeply into what the content would be and where the noticeboard
would exist. However, (without going into details) I had in mind
something very simple, that could be set up very quickly, and that
hopefully would improve the Doc Teams communication (with the outside
world and perhaps internally too). I'm imagining that there wouldn't
be a large number of notices on the noticeboard and that they wouldn't
change very often. But this would depend on how the Doc Team use the
noticeboard.

Hi Hannie, thanks for your reply. Regarding notices about meetings. It
was just an example. I think I meant that once the meeting was
arranged it might be useful to have a notice on the noticeboard. As a
further example, I dont think the date of the meeting arranged via
David Plantella in March 2016 was ever stated in emails, so, once the
meeting had been arranged, a notice of it might have been useful.
Regarding your point about "non-team members": the noticeboard would
hopefully become known to more and more non-team members with an
interest in the documentation, so that if they wanted to check
something about the documentation, the noticeboard might be the first
place that they would look.

Hi everyone, what do people think? If we decide a noticeboard might be
useful, I'd like a commitment from some of you that you'll use it some
of the time (where appropriate). Of course you can still post info on
forums etc if you want to - but if you're posting info on a forum etc
it might be worth posting it on the noticeboard too? I think this is
worth doing - but of course it's only a minor thing. It might prove
very useful or it might be a failure. Time will tell.

Regards,

Chris.
