[Typo3-marketing] 2 Marketing Newsgroup - open and closed

[AGENTUR S: Jean-Marie Schweizer]

I'd like to propose a new way of communicating within the marketing group
and to the outside.

I see a potential in getting more volunteers to help by letting them know
what the marketing group is up to, with the efforts that are being prepared
here waiting for people doing it. I also see it as an opportunity to let the
community know about what efforts are being made inside the marketing group.


Why two NGs? Mainly because there will still be a need for a closed group
for rather strategic subjects. Most of the posts could go to the open NGs
though.

With this split we'd also be able to cut down the 130 or what members of the
marketing list to a much smaller number that will have access to the closed
newgroup. Since most of the members are screening anyway they could do that
on the open NG as well.

On the technical side (checked with Michael Stucki) it is tricky to keep a
closed group since it involves root access and keeping a config file I think
but we two NGs we wouldn't have many changes on the member list of the
closed one and therefore wouldn't create much of a work load.

PS: A good example of going into the open is the documentation NG. Despite
ist ups and downs Peter Kindström just finished the glossary witht help of
40 people, the wiki page has be put into action and this way of
communicating is used by more than just the docTeam etc.
