Yesterday in the middle of apartement hunting, I finally figured out where the rather well-hidden Steven's Creek trail is, and so I've been off biking for most of the past 2 days. Very nice to get out and get some exercise and fresh air for a change! (and I plan to keep it up too..)
Very little coding has happened in the past 3 days (or the past 5, given that the 2 before that were spent in documentation mode). I couldn't get anywhere on friday, hopefully a weekend away has cleared my head.
Jim Dennis is probably right on about social dynamics and ratings. I overwelmingly certify most people I certify as journeyers, because that just seems safest. Also, if I know them well enough for their name to have stuck in my mind, they can't just be apprentices or observers, right? :-) And I hestite to certify people as master. So I think journeyer is getting perhaps a bit diluted.
Allowing people to list themselves as participating in projects helps counteract Jim's last concern. You don't have to grep for their name, you know what projects they claim to work on and if you're familiar with one of the projects, it's easy to verify the claim. (No need to worry about name collisions either.) I do wonder if it would make sense to allow even observers to list themselves as being a Helper or somehow affiliated with a project.
Hm. I seem to have entirely missed the switch to (from? whatever) daylight savings time. I have 1 clock that's not self-correcting, and I just noticed it's wrong.
