[wp-forums] Doing it for free. - the people

[Podz]

At some point the issue of who will actually be doing this arises.
Potentially it is contentious but hopefully we can agree something that 
is fair.

At the last #meetup in response to someone suggesting that security of 
information was a potential problem, Matt stated "we already have 
concepts of trust with each other based on how long someone has been 
around, how they contribute, etc " which I think is an excellent view.

The point I think we also need to come from is not who do we let join, 
but what is the marker for joining? How do we do this to include people 
rather than exclude people? This making sense?

I do not think it should just be moderators only, as has been said 
before and I agree with there are some excellent people in the forum who 
may wish to take on the extra work too.
Excellent is a fuzzy word though.

Given this is purely for the benefit of people coming to WordPress and 
that we must be seen to be very competent (I imagine that when this 
happens it will be scrutinised) how do we choose who can help inside 
this? How many should there be?
