Re: [p2pu-webcraft] Please review: default decline message for non Webcraft courses and groups

Agree with Jessy's feedback.

My hope is that denial will be a temporary process until we have a good tagging system in place.

Schools could then review courses tagged with their topics and invite them to join the school. I would remove "select a school" from the course creation process and replace it with tags. That way we avoid having a negative system in place altogether.

i think it was for p2pu as a whole. i do like the idea that people who have questions could contact an individual person directly with their concerns or questions.

great feedback from jessy - but I accidentally deferred the message in the moderation filter. sorry jessy!

switching the order of the explanation makes sense - thanks for pointing that out!

re volunteer course mentors - i recall us discussing it, but it didn't go much further then that. Was this meant to be a general P2PU approach or SoW specific?  Once we've got tags in place we'll also be able to point organisers towards many other organsiers working on similar topics.

cool :) here's a couple thoughts:

i would put the description about SoW and what differentiates it from p2pu *before* your decline statement, so that when you say, "it doesn't fit" you've already given the context for why. 

also when you say "let the community know" i would have a link to an individual person, as well a link to the mailing list. otherwise "community" seems a bit vague. i imagine many people won';t want to join a mailing list just to worksop their topic and if that's the only option, we might lose them, so having a human is useful IMHO. 

didn't we discuss the idea of having volunteer course mentors/contacts?

I totally agree Ali, declining people is bad. They should be invited in to Schools
