Harvesting

I wrote a couple of days ago that I don't think we should have more
harvesters right now. Maybe that's wrong?

How about the following announcement:
"In order to get the harvesting process more lively, we'd like to have
about 5 more harvesters. Responders should be quite experienced with
Squeak, should be familiar with and willing to apply the rules as
published on the Swiki, and have an intention to harvest 5 change sets a
month (no sworn oaths needed - but we are trying to make it lively...).
Candidates should reply with evaluations of their first 5 intended
changesets, just to get started, and to make sure we're in sync, since
some aspects of the process are new."

I think this may be a good idea.  Right now, we do have a number of 
people with "harvesting priviledges", but only a few people have done 
any active harvesting.  (Daniel, Tim and myself, I think.)  I thought 
it was appropriate to have all Guides and SqC members have the ability 
to harvest items (given the experience level), but since none of them 
really "volunteered" to harvest, I can't expect them to harvest on a 
regular basis.

See http://swiki.squeakfoundation.org/squeakfoundation/99

So yes, it would probably be a good idea to get some more Harvesting 
Volunteers on board.  By volunteering, they would be promising to 
harvest stuff once per month or so.  Which doesn't absolutely guarantee 
that it will get done, but at least they could be made to feel guilty 
if they don't live up to their promises... ;-)
