Items on the agenda:
- KM4dev facilitation/administration (Dgroups and wiki)
- Dgroups: Peter's proposal to switch every week or two weeks
- wiki: here is a snippet of a message from Davide:
Lucie, I could set "contact@km4dev.org" as the contact address for notifications of new account requests, but that way I would have to 1) get username and password for that inbox; 2) manually access it from time to time in order to check whether somebody requested a new account, which is more time consuming than just going to http://wiki.km4dev.org/Special:ConfirmAccounts.
My suggestion is that we revise the mechanism and set up a simple mailing list, so that all the people willing to manage new account requests can receive notifications directly in their personal inboxes. Adding/removing people to the group of admins would be as easy as adding/removing their email addresses from the mailing list. The email address of the mailing list could be, for example: "account-requests@km4dev.org". Every time a new user would request an account on the wiki, a notification would be sent to the mailing list and therefore forwarded to the current admins, who could approve the new account in a timely fashion.
I can only specify one address, so as of now I am the only one who receives an email notification of new account requests. Using the address of a mailing list would overcome the problem.
- Status of IFAD funded activities
- Planning actions on pointers from various activities (e.g. SNA, L&M etc.)
