These are all excellent goals.  But I disagree that we ''must'' have accomplished them before we can have a Biology Week.  We have quite simply spent too long "getting ready" in this way, and we could probably do so for a couple more years.  It's time to expand our ranks. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 22:14, 10 June 2008 (CDT)

need for extra constables during workgroup weeks 24/7

I'm sure if we advertise big enough, we will get people signing up for workgroup week to try and spoil it with vandalism, etc.

We will need a massive constable effort during the first rounds of workgroup week.

We may want to recruit more constables so we can have them on 24-7. Tom Kelly 17:51, 9 June 2008 (CDT)

Reaction to this

These are all excellent goals. But I disagree that we must have accomplished them before we can have a Biology Week. We have quite simply spent too long "getting ready" in this way, and we could probably do so for a couple more years. It's time to expand our ranks. --Larry Sanger 22:14, 10 June 2008 (CDT)
