Wookieepedia:Mofferences

All Wookieepedians are invited to attend the occasional Wookieepedia mofference. Kindly don't be scared away by the name; we like to have all opinions at the meetings.

Next meeting
The next Mofference will take place Saturday, September 8 at 7 PM U.S. Eastern time. Please check the infobox on the right to see when this is in your timezone, and remember that daylight savings time may be in effect in your area.

Agenda
Feel free to add to the agenda.
 * IRC Policies – It seems we need some. Specific issues include:
 * Civility. Wookieepedia-style NPA rules may not work too well in IRC, even if we want them to. How then do we establish guidelines? Or do we?
 * Preventing Whining. Civility guidelines that are too strict may result in IRC devolving into preschool recess. (And don't give me that shocked look. We all know there are lots and lots of idiots about.)
 * Operator Privileges. Freenode doesn't want us to use them except when necessary. Some feel they're necessary so often that we ought to just keep people opped.
 * Boot Policy. Even if no other policies can be agreed upon, perhaps simply determining appropriate situations to boot someone (versus mute the channel, an option that could suffice for most disruptions IMO) and requiring operators to adhere to that might be enough. Some users feel this prohibits the opportunity to have fun with booting.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 22:54, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
