Dispute resolution mailing list

I think its time we had a mailing list set up explicitly for all dispute
resolution issues.
I mean wikien doesn't deal with these anymore, Arbcom and Medcom lists are
closed-source,
and* its been almost six years since the "formal process for handling
disputes" got started in the first place (Oct 2 2003*).

I have spoken.

What's wrong with the wiki, for wiki-related things?

I have not said anything was "wrong with the wiki," only that there should
be a mailing list for dealing with dispute resolution.  Can you clarify your
question a bit?

Public dispute resolution happens on wiki, private dispute resolution
happens on closed mailing lists. Where is the gap in the market that
would be filled by a public dispute resolution mailing list?

No problem, we might as well take a stab at it. However, my experience
here is of deadlock, not resolution. Deadlock characterized by sterile
repetition of fixed positions.

Entire revolutions can occur the wiki without coming to a user's
attention. A mailing list devoted to dispute resolution would focus
attention, even if all it did was point to significant on wiki
discussiona. The functionaries list and, presumably the arbitration list
already do this. A dispute resolution list would clue everyone in, not
just functionaries and arbitrators.

Thomas, the distinctions you present -- that dispute resolution has public
and private dimensions, and that these different dimensions of dispute
resolution require different technological formats -- is unknown to me. Is
there policy in which the necessity for these distinctions is outlined?

Great. One of us should ask the techies to get it set up.

Indeed. Ostensibly, the list would deal with not just specific dispute
resolutions, but with dispute resolution itself - how it works, etc. These
concepts haven't changed much since late 2003, and as such there may need to
be adjustments - people have ideas I'm sure. And of course, dealing with
both specific cases and with general concepts in the same context makes it a
bit of an integration issue. And that's another answer for Alex's question -
integration based on a particular concept. If the concept was Electric
Trains, then of course a separate mailing list wouldn't be justified.

The List would need two (at least) Moderators: One that would be very
familiar with the technical and policy aspects of the Project; and one that
could focus on the interpersonal dialogue itself.

I never said it was necessary, I just said that's the way it is.
Unless you can describe a problem with a current system, I see no
reason to change it.

I did, such matters are regularly discussed on the functionaries and
arbitration lists, but sometimes not on any mailing list available to
general users. If nothing else, it would be useful to point to
significant ongoing controversies.

Fine, but I don't know who sets up mailing lists.

You could start a thread called  "if it ain't broke don't fix it" and there
we can debate whether the axiom applies to anything other than appliances.

I would actually suggest two lists, if we could do this -

One, an announce-only list which summarized ongoing dispute resolution
(arbcom cases, RFCs, community discussions of note elsewhere) for
those who find following all the threads on-wiki daunting with real
life time constraints.

Two, discussion.

Perhaps one list, but a regular posting of the announcements, but I
think some people would be more interested in just announcements.  I
would participate in both, but I think that giving some people the
option to just get the announcements is more respectful of their
bandwidth...

That's not an axiom, it is a consequence of the definitions of "broke"
and "fix".

Hm. So you are saying that "definitions have consequences?"

Speaking of definitions: You also previously used the term "problem:" Every
edit conflict is a "problem" and DR itself is almost the same as it was 5.7
years ago.
You also used the term "current system:" It is my understanding that a
"convention" is not a "system."
