Mailing List Netiquette
New mail list netiquette guidelines have been published. All posters to HWG mail lists are expected to read and comply with these rules:http://www.hwg.org/lists/netiquette.html
****Please note that failure to comply with the netiquette guidelines can result in expulsion from one or more mail lists and/or the Guild****
Mailing List Guides
List Guides have been added to each HWG mailing list to help people determine where to post their information, answer the easier questions, gather technical discussions for the FAQ's and help maintain quality discussions by controlling the non-relevant posts.To contact a List Guide please send email to lg-(list-name)@hwg.org where <list> is the name of one of the HWG mail lists (e.g. lg-basics@hwg.org)
The GB would like to thank the List Guides for volunteering their time to help HWG expand our services and improve our technical discussion environment.
Mailing List Management
The HWG Mail Lists now have a team of people managing them:
- List Guide Manager
- Brian primarily deals with the List Guides.
- Concerns about LGs or questions: contact Brian at <briancat@a.crl.com>.
- Mail List Manager
- Roxanne primarily deals with the List Owners (the people who run the mail list management software).
- Concerns about about List Owners or questions: contact Rox at <rox@hwg.org>.
Guild Survey
The hwg-survey mailing list is now active. This list is open to all members for the purpose of discussing the questions that will be included in the final survey. Please do not answer the questions at this time, and please do tell us your ideas/suggestions for improving the questions and answers to those questions. If a question is unclear, tell us.The questions will be discussed in groups, rather than the entire survey all at once. The purpose of this is so the Co-coordinators can retain their sanity should all 19,000+ members choose to subscribe to this list. For more information, check out our we bpage at:
http://www.hwg.org/survey/index.html
Guild Archives Renovation
The HWG is planning to refresh and renew the Archives, through a new Archives Management Team. This team will look through the current archives, decide whether its current organization is best, how it could be better, and then make suggestions as to what needs to be done to make it of greatest value to HWG members.However, since the request for applicants for the Archives management Team was sent out [around August first], there have been no applications recieved. The work on the archives can't begin until there are applicants to the Archives Management Team.
If you would like to volunteer to help with this project, email saying so to AMT Project Manager Heath M Rezabek at <hrezabek@gslis.utexas.edu>.
