The volunteer list should be shared, not owned
Quoting Eden at akashic.com:
Kevin,
I was on the digest, then, was not .. you said you added me, and still
wasn't. I added myself via the OB.org[1] button on the home page ..
nothing. Do you moderate this list?
Also, as U know I do not support private email stashes of volunteers
.. I believe it is holding us back.
Please send to your private email list of volunteers that there is a
web-site set-up for them at:
http://groups.occupyboston.org/wg/volunteer-info
where they can self select info and see working groups .. mostly links
now but, all the links are there and are more updated than the wiki,
in many cases.
Then they will have the volunteer-info to return to as their time
allows: self managing, self-selecting, self determined ... Movement
building.
For me, this address or eden at occupyboston.org are both fine ....
EDUCATION IS A WEAPON OF MASS CONSTRUCTION
To schedule a class send to fsu at occupyboston.org, write 'POST' and
<date> in the subject line.
TO VOLUNTEER YOU ARE IN THE RIGHT MAIL BOX.

FYI At the first post-eviction GA outreach working group collected
addresses of people who wanted to be "Informed of ways to be involved
in Phase II of Occupy Boston." I think this message would just detail
the different working groups, projects they are involved in, etc. It's
only a notion at this point, as far as I know.
Maybe when the time is ripe we should send whatever message outreach
is planning to all of the daily digesters as well? That might have to
run by GA, but for now it's an idea.
