Between March 2001 and June 2011 I administered the
Agile Modeling mailing list on Yahoogroups.
However, during the last couple of years the
conversation slowed to a trickle, often the natural
evolution of discussion forums. So, in June 2011 I
made the decision to shut down the AM mailing list and
instead suggest to people that they move their
AM-oriented discussions to the
Agile Alliance discussion forum on
LinkedIn. Hope to
see you there.
Suggested Discussion Forum Rules of Etiquette:
I hope everyone can follow common newsgroup and email etiquette
(feel free to suggest a good URL). Basically:
- Be polite
- Be polite
- Be polite
- Respect the opinions of others, even if they disagree with
your own. Remember, humility is a fundamental AM value
- Be open and honest with your opinions, we're in this
together
- If the topic of the conversation changes, and it often does,
please change the subject using the following protocol: "Old
Subject" becomes "New Subject was: Old Subject"
- Let's try to focus on ideas, not on marketing tools or
services
- When you respond to a message please cut your
response down to the minimum
required. We don't need to keep sending out
the original message all of the
time, just the pertinent text.
- Please feel free to announce events such as user
group meetings and conferences using ANN or CFP,
short for Announcement and Call For Participation
respectively, at the beginning of the subject
line.
- Please don't include attachments. For example,
don't post a Word
document, post the text of the word document.
Better yet, post an URL where
the information is posted.
- Once it becomes obvious that only a few people are
interested in a thread,
consider taking it off line.
- Avoid
Common Role Anti-Patterns in Online Discussion Forums
