Operation Evangelism[]
We could add a bit of a tracking service for e-mails. Operation Evangelism, my "working name" for this project (please suggest others), would be a way for people to write emails, as a group, to big corporations. As one e-mailer may write something resembling a flame, many could easily make it better and make sense. Once people agree on the talk page that the email is "ready", the original person or a possible "Representative" sends off the email. This is actually quite similar to Tech Evangelism, which suggests that users complain to the site. However, the emails to the National Lottery (UK) are a bit, well, not professional. From the first one:
- and you will keep the Firefox fanboys at bay (hahaha :-D ), some of whom are more... insulting than they are constructive.
While I know it's well-meaning, but smilies :-D are not very professional. A well-written e-mail would be nice. While the second one didn't post his email, he posted his response. April! Nice :)
Now if this e-mail was posted on the wiki under the Operation Evangelism page, preferably in a subpage to make the page shorter and easier to skim, then it could easily be tracked. "Hey, that was supposed to be finished by this month, and it isn't! If it's not done by the end of the month, we need to contact them again,". Of course, it is easy to see that that does make a lot of sense. Tracking the status of evangelism (which may be done in bugzilla now? I am unsure how that works exactly as the tech-evang pages don't mention it) would be great. What do you guys think? --Me at work 17:38, 24 Jan 2005 (PST)
Firemonger[]
This is dlichterman, one of the heads of Firemonger. I think it would be good if we had one community CD, like a merging of Firemonger and Mozcd--any one else think so? -daniel
