<br><br>1. The System:Contact special page is pretty cool. Feedback is collected from the "feedback form" and delivered to an unpublished email address. We can accept any feedback via the website and handle it as we need to.
<br><br>2. I have created a new email alias on OpenWetWare.org to serve as the destination for the feedback messages. This address is a random sequence and will not generally be published.<br><br>3. I removed the "feedback" alias from
OpenWetWare.org. All messages to be routed to the <a href="http://Oww-Feedback.mit.edu" target="_blank">Oww-Feedback.mit.edu</a> mailing list will go to the new mail address.<br><br>4. If people find and abuse the "
<a href="mailto:oww-feedback@mit.edu" target="_blank">
</a><a href="mailto:oww-feedback@mit.edu" target="_blank">oww-feedback@mit.edu</a>" address badly, we'll fall back the same way by renaming the list or replacing it with an app within OWW or via another web application.
<br><br>5. In any discussion of feedback within OWW, please refrain from writing actual email addresses. This will keep the robots from finding and spamming the list.
<br><br>6. Anyone on the current OWW-Feedback list will notice no difference in its behavior. The random email address I mentioned is part of the "feedback application" and wasn't intended as an alternate way of submitting feedback.
<br><br>7. I am adding a new MediaWiki: system message, "MediaWiki:FeedbackHeaderContent". The contents of this message will be displayed on the form. I'll let people know when it's available.<br><br>Let's see how this works. We can use it for other processes which involve taking input from non-OWW members in a controlled manner as they emerge.
<br><br>Thanks.<br><br>Bill<br><br><br>
