(Custodian roles and task modifications)
(Many questions...)
Line 24: Line 24:


What if we were to add a 'custodian' role to draft tasks, where someone who sees a draft without a custodian can be the go-to guy for clarifying the task idea into something that can be implemented or built upon? Once the task graduates to full-task status, it falls under the more general behaviors we already have. As for things like [[VList]] and [[Loading animated 3D data]], perhaps those tasks should be modified such that they're more achievable or implementable. (VList might also include a "demonstrate its use" section, while the 3d animated data task might not be so specific to require the use of Smil and X3D, but go on to show how to proceed along the individual model "frames") --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 01:21, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

:Isn't the initial 'custodian' the person who starts the task? I think it is good that people that have good ideas for tasks, but who do not have English as a first language, have asked for help with their task and recieved it. But what about the tasks for which the people who might have helped, feel reticent for some reason?
:Don't we want tasks in which the original creator had to put in the initial effort to see it through any initial doldrums?
:Do we want to, in effect, move some of the list of suggested tasks into abandoned task pages with just as much information in them?
:Is this a case where it would help if we got the thoughts of long-term members of much larger wiki's? (Is there a meta wiki wiki)?
