Very interesting and informative. You also give several hints on how to improve Gridcoin community and in particular, twitter team. There are however some inconsistencies.
Few contributors available instead of many
A significant issue we faced on a number of occasions in the official-social-media channel was being unable to post critical security or network issues in a timely manner, due to only having two people with posting abilities
@vortac 's poll if successful will add two new members, thus team would expand, not contract.
Section 4 - The channel’s fallout
The primary issue that plagues this group is a lack of content. [...] the channel recently lost two members [...] this was effectively the final nail in the coffin
You point to several problems within the twitter team, but contrary to given evidence, in conclusions you disprove those problems:
Basically, if it ain’t broken, don’t break it.
Conclusions:
- team needs to work according to agreed rules
- team members need to live in different time zones
- fast lane required for urgent security updates
You're right in some of your observations. My post is 10 pages long and it looks like I lacked clarity on a couple things that I overlooked in proofreading. I'll try to address them:
Jringo isn't an OP.
It's now increased from 5 to hundreds given that it's now a public process.
The Steemit & Whaleshares polls passed, authorizing posting of such content. The micromanaged voting mechanism failed to be productive, It was never mandated for any other social media presence.
To clarify since I caught this as you posted:
This proposal would reduce the team size from 8 to 2. This proposal would give access to someone who has explicitly stated that they do not want oversight or collaboration.
The group was working fine until someone pushed other folks out. That is what anon is talking about.
There has never been 8 people on the Twitter account, don't spread false numbers. By your logic with the channel now public there are 130+ members now 👌
Team effort all around.
