Hi, @camiille
We were discussing that, same as we have now a night mode and a day mode of a Viki homepage, we could also have a volunteer mode. Some of the suggestions for it are written under.
Asides from occasional formal announcements, we could really use just one page with shortcuts to stuff we need on a regular basis, such as getting into your projects or reporting a malfunction of the volunteer tools and general status on these bugs.
In this particular example of reporting a tool malfunction, right now each user must:
- find out on their own that a tool is buggy
- think maybe it’s her computer, internet connection or another technical error
- check two separate pages for any word from the community (Discussions and Bugs&Issues)
- my least favorite: check VikiStatus on Twitter
We know that Bugs&Issues is supposed to be THE point of gathering for these issues, but it is often filled up with viewers complaining about something technical, such as casting, or, ironically, asking for subs. So, I feel that those particular pages are more for the Viki users, not so much for the volunteers.
Bottom line, could you consider having only one place for all of the basic everyday functions the volunteers would need, including regular site development information to the volunteers?
