Jillaine says " ... non responsiveness of otherwise active wikitreers to both comments on profiles they manage and g2g questions associated with profiles they manage."
And I'm still stuck with there's no incentive to lure responses nor is there any requirement specific in statement about responding; and there is not an obvious link between the concept of "collaboration" and the action of "responding to messages and / or g2g discussion about a profile".
Family Activity Feed shows who has been tinkering with a profile you manage (listed on your Watch List). Even the Home Nav Page shows some of the activity.
Do I understand this Lack of Response to include clicking on "thank so-and-so for tinkering with this profile on your watch list"? I have to agree that a simple click seems easy enough to perform.
Jillaine further said (later) these were otherwise "active" PM at WT, of which we have around 3000 (maybe) ... I could point to the number of postings at g2g that do not get responses within 24 hrs and for all I know there may have been 100s which never got a response. But there we are, only a portion of the currently active PM drop into g2g to at least surf what's happening
I am stuck (I get stuck a lot) with the idea that this is really a non-issue.
Or if it is REALLY IMPORTANT it needs to be dropped into Policy and Style to be hammered into shape and so something can be written into the Help: and Intro and etc, a FORMAL POLICY STATEMENT making clear that if someone offers to collaborate you need to respond (even if it's nothing more than "No.") since Jillaine is talking RESPONSE(S) -- And BTW, "No." IS a response.
Anyway, if it is a Real Issue then put it in Policy and Style, they'll stomp it into shape ... otherwise, it is an idea with no future
