Jobs assignments

Ben> The jobs file I created has been up on the web site for some Ben> time under the heading "Dev team responsibilities". Ben> http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/jobs.html Ben> But I get the feeling that many people listed in this file Ben> have not looked at the file. Well, the last time I looked (within the last month) it wasn't up yet---I looked at every link in the index sidebar. At least it's easily findable now. There is too much reference to the current situation in the job descriptions, that isn't relevant to people who want to know who to talk to. The page probably ought to be split into two pieces, one which tells people with a problem who to talk to, and the other which tells potential candidates for jobs what is going to be on their plate in the current situation besides the top level job description. Ben> I ask that anyone who is contributing very much to XEmacs Ben> please scan the file for their name, and see if the Ben> assignments make sense. For the record, I really really wish you would change the name of the "Japanese liaison" job. Somebody needs to keep track of non-directly code-related I18N issues (like new input methods, free fonts) and take responsibility for making sure that Mule stuff works. And given that Japanese are active in I18N development and sometimes don't speak English well, it makes sense for that same person to be fluent in Japanese. But it shouldn't be just for Japanese (most of whom can take care of themselves in English) and it's not just liaison. "I18N Gopher" would do. If you must keep some Japanese in it, spell it "I18N 5pher". -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
