From my view point (and this is not going to endear me to some people) it seems like she says certain things to deliberatly provoke.
I agree. I think she's deliberately stirring up trouble, and an official stompy warning is long overdue.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

with a gleam in my eye, and an almost airtight alibi
a) I'm with hayden
and
b) I'm very frustrated that the work on MARCIE keeps getting shelved, or seeming like it's getting shelved. msbelle had volunteered to basically project manage the work; I doubt she can do that right now, since I know her offline life has gotten busier, but I'd bet there are other people here who would be eager to take her place and do any non-tech work of coordinating/research/planning that needs to be done.
The sense I get is that it's less important as a project to the coders than to the community as a whole. Is this an unfair assessment on my part?

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Unfortunately (from the 'this concerns her' perspective), Zoe Ann seems to have left the building.
Damn, I was so excited that the Phoenix was back up, and now this...

The problem as I understand it is that we don't HAVE the coding resources for it.
It's sure as hell high on the list, but the coder who was going to do it had to drop out, and there's not really been anyone with the time or skill to take up the slack.

Ah. Gotcha. Thanks.
That *is* a problem...

I have four free days next week. I had planned to spend them getting that thing that they call "a life", but I might instead give it a try.

If my PHP skills were better, I'd volunteer, but I'm from Redmond country.
'Taint much call for them 'round these parts, and all my learning has focused on XML and PHP.

(Cereal):
I just threadsucked the part of Better Board where the last discussion about MARCIE took place. I'll read it tonight, compile a complete spec of this feature and its functionality and post it to see if people agree with it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm for the Marcie (except for the paranoid part of me which thinks everyone will Marcie me), but shouldn't we wait until the other issues that have come up recently (meaning within the last week) with the board are resolved?
meara - Apr 11, 2003 2:48:56 pm PDT #9211 of 10001
And lately, I think everyone's been more concerned with making sure the board was still running/has a future than making additions. Understandably. (xpost w/Perkins)
I think a warning would be good. It's not like we'd be banishing her. Not sure it would DO anything, but that's a whole other issue.
