Hans and Documenters,<br><br>The notifications in the queue are <i>better</i> than g.d.o. in my opinion. But I still vote for g.d.o. + advocating for improvements at g.d.o.<br><br>The problems I have with using the queue for docs group processing are:<br>
<ol><li>The
queue's appropriate focus is task/response, not designed for
discussion. When there is a discussion in the queue, half the time
someone will interrupt you and say, "that's a duplicate" -- or "start a
new issue." I like those people. They impose order in a zone where
people are trying to get things done. It's not for open discussion</li><li>It takes newbies a while to learn the queue</li><li>I think the
pics/avatar possibility on g.d.o is really important. Seeing people's
faces, or even their avatar's reminds me to think more of the other
people involved, and not just the back-and-forth of words. <br></li></ol>[p.s. -- the first time I tried posting it got rejected "waiting moderation" because it was more than 40K. This was do just to the quoting, requoting... one of the disasters of e-mail, though at least gmail has made that better on the UI side - but not on the back end. One more reason to go web-based!]<br>
