i didn't say that the general public could post to staff; just that
they have read access to it.

resp:33 That's NOT your decision to make. You don't get to unilaterally
say, "staff.cf stays restricted." You get to have an opinion like everyone
else.
Let's be honest: staff has been a social club prior to. Show me a single
example of this "chaffing" you are referring to in, e.g., garage and I'll give
your opinion its due merit. But the discussons in staff are hardly serious,
if they happen at all. If anything, opening it up would provide more folks
the opportunity to see waht's going on and provide helpful suggestions, since
almost no one posts to staff.

it came off to me as a final decision you'd made as well. it didn't
sound like an opinion.

The term "staff conference" is perhaps something of a misnomer,
since board members also have access.
Regarding opening it up: There was a policy passed by member vote
a few years ago that bears on this. It's currently offline due to
the recent disk disaster, so I can't look it up, but I think the
gist of it was that all conferences on Grex shall be open, with an
explicit exception made for the staff conference. If so, opening
the conference would involve undoing something adopted by a vote
of the members.
You know, if it were up to me, I'd abandon the staff conference
entirely, as it's kind of a hodgepodge of stuff that serves a
variety of purposes that I think are better served in separate
venues. Staff discussions of matters that should be private,
like security, should go on a mailing list. Policy discussions
should be open and take place in Coop. Discussions of hardware
and software (e.g. what OS to run) should be open and happen in
Garage. How-to's (like, how to do backups, or how to check
changes into a version control system) should be in medium that
supports editing and looking stuff up, like a wiki, that's
editable by staff members and readable by all.

Actually, I'm a board member and don't have access, so I don't
think all board members do.

One of the fair witnesses needs to update the user list for the staff
conference. Some day, I may be able to get back onto grex in a way that
will let me update the user list. I hope.

Whoops. What is the current list of board members? I'll make sure everyone
has the appropriate access.
