Here's a better question, do we really expect to be able to find volunteers with the necessary skills? These people will be our very own volunteer fire fighters in a sense. Doing a community service on a volunteer basis fighting the fires the rest of set in our efforts to tear down other people's bikesheds obstructing the view atop our own. Real-world volunteer fire fighters get some amount of training and are not expected to walk in the door with all the skills necessary to fight fires. I'm not saying these people will need financial compensation. But I am saying that maybe some skills development is a worthwhile investment, especially if we don't want to see a high rate of turn-over or burn out. Though I would not know how to go about making that skills development actually happen. -jef _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
