In reply to Dr. Bob wants some help, posted by fallsfall on February 12, 2004, at 9:08:23
My brainstorm: make the test required at registration (if it still exists) open book.
S
> Dr. Bob has done a great job getting Babble to where it is today. But Babble keeps growing, and Dr. Bob has a bit more to do than he can manage. I think that some of us posters would be willing to help, and Dr. Bob has asked us to give him suggestions on how we would assist him.
>
> We need to brainstorm what ways we could help.
>
> I'll start the brainstorming session. The rules of this brainstorming session are:
> --All ideas are welcome.
> --The ideas do NOT have to be practical.
> --The ideas should not be "evaluated" until we have finished making a list, that means we don't discuss the ideas now, we will have time for that later.
> --Some of the ideas will be terrible - but some of the terrible ideas might spark an idea in someone else's head that is really good, so make the terrible suggestions, too.
> --I'm hoping that Dr. Bob will add to this list since he knows what kind of things are done for Babble (and which things he wishes he didn't have to do).
> --You (personally) do not need to be qualified to do the things you suggest.
>
> After we have a list and determine which things on the list will be helpful, then we'll start seeing if there are people who can fill the individual roles. Remember, Dr. Bob may decide that he doesn't want a particular kind of help, or we may decide that we can't provide a particular kind of help - but for now, let's get all of the ideas on the table.
>
> So - please add to this list!
