Let me put some answers to some of the above questions or remarks
above steps should consider size and availability of the Admin team
- As far as I am familiar with some of the core developers, Alexander Shishkov is responsible for maintaining this website, which he does besides a full time job.
- Other core devs are focussing more on the github based community, where they guide day to day problems, and when they got the time, they pass by here also.
- This website itself is thus mainly maintained by volunteers like myself.
nice goal would be the convergence of information produced here into the OpenCV Doc/Tutorial
- Kind of what I have been aiming for in the last full year.
- Everytime a nice solutions becomes available I have pushed people into supplying a PR with a decent tutorial on the matter. The increase in samples and documentation are proof of that.
- Lets keep working on this!
How many people have rights to do things ? but much more relevant, have they any time slot free ?
- Administrator: @AlexanderShishkov
- Moderator team (lets stick to the active ones): me, @berak, @Guanta, @Mathieu Barnachon, @Haris, @Michael Burdinov
- However, take a look at recent pages and you will notice a small active supporting community like @theodore, @sturkmen, @LBerger, @Pedro Batista, @LorenaGdL, @kbarni, @pklab ... which try to help as much people as possible! Thank you for that
- For the moment only moderators have extensive rights like removing content and authenticating first time users.
- In the near future, the plan would be to select an additional set of moderators, which is on a invitation base.
- I can only talk for myself, but I do have day to day time to work around OpenCV since I am full time using it in my research and my supervisor agrees that helping out the community is a necessary part of our duty.
is the Admin team sized/timed enough for modifications to AskBot?
For the moment I am afraid not, because they simply are overwhelmed with all the other work that needs to be done.
In general, as stated on the issues page, come join us in the chatroom of the issue tracker and start the discussion! Would love to hear your opinions on improvements and then we will lay out a plan of what we are going to apply first!
