I do plan to post regular reports, and in fact posted my second semi-regular report yesterday. I know the importance of making public progress reports. I know this without being told, so am not sure why it is felt that a request for regular reports has fallen on deaf ears.
It would be nice if we had a little reporting tool so folks could post their reports on a regular basis which I could summarize. It would be nice if such a tool would e-mail reminders to folks that they owe a weekly report 24 hours in advance. At the moment I'm just pinging Ben and Dan and hope for answers. I need to get something systematic going as our list of volunteers is now large.
Where should we post reports? Should I keep posting them here? That's been my plan but a separate status report "forum" would make it easier for folks to track. Mozilla has a web-based system that shows weekly reports and tells you who hasn't reported, as well.
As far as switching to e-mail lists, I really don't know what to say. Some folks like these forums, others don't. Some folks like e-mail lists, others (including me) don't. We're not going to please everyone. Yes, it would be nice if folks could post here via e-mail. This would let folks interact with the forum via browser or e-mail client depending on their personal preference. I run a mailing list (the pacific northwest eco-forum) and belong to several others, and they threaten to run my life. Because of this, I've slowly developed a strong dislike of them.
Roberto, if you want to keep a "todo" list personally I think it would be great. We'd want that posted in a prominent place on the site.
