=== '''Identification of Tasks/Estimates of time needed/skills needed'''<br>  ===

<br> 

'''1 - Facilitation''' 

*Work with any conflicts or group norm issues on the email list/NING 
*Read every message to look for issues (daily or every other day) 
*Encourage summarization on wiki and post occasional topic-related messages
*As we approve any job postings to the Dgroup we also email the member directly to say:
"Please also post your job to the KM4Dev Jobs Centre here: http://www.km4dev.org/group/km4devjobscentre
You need to be a member of the KM4Dev site to do that and if you're not already you can sign up here: http://www.km4dev.org/main/authorization/signUp"<br>

<br> 

'''Time needed:''' depends on the week (and the number of messages) but roughly 2-4 hours per week <br> 

<br> 

'''2 - Moderation/Admin''' 

*DGroups - approve/reject accounts via email, watch for spammers and Google email addresses/names if suspect, explain how to subscribe/unsubscribe/use digests format, dealing with technical issues, liaison with WA Research. CHECK the Dgroups for possible unapproved emails on the Dgroups interface AT LEAST once a week.
*NING - approve members, photos, events, blog posts, etc., watch for spammers and Google email addresses/names if suspect 
*Wiki - create accounts, coordinate w/ Davide's update of the wiki (ties to summarization), dealing with technical issues, liaison with Greenet<br> 
*LOTS of explaining about the different tools, why they are not one and the same, why there are multiple passwords and providing lost passwords

<br> 

'''Time needed:''' can get quite intensive, 1 to 2 hours per day<br> 

<br> 

'''3 - Community Leadership''' 

*Coordination w/ Core Group (convening calls, making sure minutes get posted, shared w/ larger community) 
*Liason with other communities/students/journalists/etc. who are interested in featuring KM4dev on website, blogs, community profiles (i.e. "represent KM4dev")

<br> 

'''Time needed:''' depends on what is happening (i.e. Core group meetings, KM4dev workshops, queries, etc.) but can be 1-10 hours per month 

<br> 

'''4- Other Issues''' 

*Helping make community norms/rules visible 
*As needed, create resources to facilitate participation (i.e. tools to avoid cyberstalking) 
*Need for better orientation of new members<br>

<br> 

'''Time needed:''' at least a day (8 hours)&nbsp;should spent working on these

This page is aimed to explain how the moderation of the KM4Dev mailing list takes place from both a technical and substantial perspective.
