[edit] POTY
I think that POTY is just too many clicks away from the main page. It can only be reached by people who know about it. A pity for one of the most relevant activities of this project. --84.15.44.154 08:27, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
[edit] An official committee mailing list
I'm proposing an official committee mailing list, instead of using an unofficial mailing list (such as google groups) for each year's POTY. Thoughts? — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 16:39, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
- Agreed, good idea. Have preparations for POTY 2009 started already? -- JovanCormac 12:43, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- I don't think so, but we might as well start now :). — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 12:47, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Right you are, let's move to Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2009. -- JovanCormac 12:55, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
- Great! I'll try to help around with the organising when I can (we're getting a bit off-topic here, heh :)). Should we put a notice on VP, AN, FPC talk page, QI talk page, and similar pages for wider attention? — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 14:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- You mean you don't have a centralized system for wider attention? Better talk to me about that. :P Yes, the word should be spread. (I also agree that the contest should be on an official mailing list, for the sake of transparency). Harej (talk) 08:17, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, we should. Btw. the preparatory action has moved to Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2009/Preparation. What about the mailing list, though? Which service should we use to set one up? -- JovanCormac 08:19, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

What is it that can't be done onwiki?Geni (talk) 10:20, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
- Same question, it'd be easier, wouldn't it? →Diti the penguin — 11:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
What was it that was done on mailing lists last year (examples with details changed to protect privacy if need be)??? Thanks ++Lar: t/c 21:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
- I think we would need some input from the former committee members to clarify that. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 12:57, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
What about making the list archives public? I don't see why this should be private (at the time), but a mailing list should be created, IMO. — Kanonkas // talk // e-mail // 19:50, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
