One thought on “Realtor”

1. It’s iestrnteing to hear about Laura’s observations about tags and your complaints about the misuse of them, but I think the issue is really one facet of a wider problem: namely, the focus on technology to solve what is basically a social problem.For example, it’s terrible to read how Jeff had to try and organise tags. It seems that introducing a tool to solve a problem just ended up causing more work and actually distanced the organisers from the problem they were trying to solve.Finally, it’s unfortunate that you are in the position of implementing something that you don’t feel qualified to do. This leads on to some observations of my own At EuroPython this year, the people involved in parts of the organisation of the event openly complained about the amount of work that needs to be done to make a conference happen I think it was a useful thing to do to make people aware of that. One result was that people stepped forward to offer help with the website, organisation process, scheduling, and so on. Now, I’m not sure that this has necessarily translated into action, but I think that may be because people need some kind of project management or supervision, and perhaps you should be performing that role rather than actually having to work on building things you don’t have much experience with.I realise that, in the end, if there’s a shortage of volunteers then somebody has to get their hands dirty and just do the job at hand. It’s always a shame when things end up that way.
