Appropedia talk:Lists of volunteers

Use categories and templates as the way to create the list

Instead of maintaining a list, I think it may be better to create a series of categories for different types of volunteers. Such volunteers would then add a template to their user page. That template should categorize the user, and have a link labeled something like "click here to contact me about volunteering in support of a course-based translation project". Details about what the volunteers do should be on the category page, rather than in this article. CurtB 01:27, 8 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

"Volunteers" seems like the wrong word

The Appropedia community is itself a collection of volunteers, so the label seems wrong. What these lists (or categories) are intended to identify are users willing to help in specific ways. Are these therefore "Users willing to help in specific ways" or "Users offering to help"
