Something has clearly got to be done to manage the changes that are in progress with CCN and the site. Today as I went to add a g(o)job shortcut to assist the text users find the information about the job Krista is advertising... I discovered that one of the links on the jump page pointing to the IP support information had been disabled. While I appreciate that some of the information the shortcut/link was pointing to was out of date (in light of recent IP proposals...) no effort was made to redirect the link to more appropriate information and I recall no notification to the editors or the IP lists that this action was taken.... Information resources have simply been removed in what I would regard as an irresponsible manner. I'd hate to think that someone is going to have to start 'following' everyone around to put an end to this nonsense, but it is clear that the changes are not being managed effectively. CCN has always operated on the basis that individuals were able to make changes when they saw a need. For this to work it requires that either: 1) the individual making the change announce their intention to do so and allow others an opportunity to concur or offer suggestions as the case may be... or, 2) the individual makes the changes and promptly announces those changes, acknowledging that others may want to revisit those actions. It is worth noting that it is almost always the withdrawal/removal of material/resources/services that causes the most disruption although in some cases the addition of material may be viewed as running counter to the interest(s) of some stakeholder. ----- Anyone who is not able to operate within these or other broadly accepted guidelines can expect to have their editing privileges withdrawn. In the short term I have restricted editing of the jumps page to 'root'. david potter
