ATTENTION OPERATING SYSTEMS EXPERTS
There has been an influx of new users on Experts Exchange since the PAQ questions were released on google. For this reason many topic areas have been flooded with questions that are too many Moderators to handle alone.
With the help of few experts we are able to keep some of the topic areas running pretty smoothly but some are being overrun with questions that have never been closed. We are requesting that any experts who have a few moments a day will help us with a cleanup effort to clean out the abandoned questions in this topic area.
With approximately 10 experts cleaning 20 questions a day we can have this area cleaned in just a few weeks. Is there anyone willing to roll up their sleeves and give us a helping hand to cleanup this topic area?
Many of us know the benefits that Experts-Exchange has brought to us in the past. Now let's see if we can do something to help this wonderful site so it will have a future. All we need is a handful of experts to participate. We need experts who want to help and are not afraid to make decisions on their own.
If you have a few minutes a day and are willing to help out get this topic area back in order, please respond to this question and let us know. We truly will appreciate any help. For more information regarding the cleanup process please see this link:
http://www.cityofangels.com/Experts/Cleanup.htm
Before you begin I will need to assign you to an area to work in. So post here first.
Thank you for your time!

I'm willing to assist.
ASKER
Bartender_1 and Renots,
Thank you for your willingness to assist. Do not start until I assign you the ranges, so that you don't run into each other. In the mean time glance throught the cleanup questions in cleanup to get an idea of format.
You are an expert if you say you are. There is no test. Moderators review the cleanup questions and the Cleanup Volunteer (CV) proposal. When I worked cleanup questions, I usually agree with about 99% of what the CV propose.
There is no minimum amount of cleanup question that you have to commit, but there should be some progress each month. I will probably assign each CV a range of a month, which consists of 100 to 200 questions. Each can complete them at their own pace.
By all means get your premium points to maintain your premium status. But 3,000 points is pretty easy to achieve.
Yes, you can change your commitment. I understand about school, special occasions, unforseen illnesses, etc.
I posted in the Louge question.

No question is stupid here. As you already found out, post the list of 25 to 50 questions on the Cleanup Topic Area. Put a date of 7 days from the last question you recommended in the title.
Also, one or two experts will likely disagree with your recommendation. Do not take their comments personally. A Moderator will look at it and make a final decision. You don't even have to respond.

Oh, I don't get offended easily, trust me :) Takes too much energy to care and argue about small and such trivial things. Everyone has their own opinions and I'm SURE they will differ with my recommendations.
I've only done the questions from 01-Oct-2002 to 08-Oct-2002. Will do some more next time I log on. I must log off now for my study sessions, I'm doing CCNP (Cisco Certified Network Professional). Wish me luck!

Nov 2002? Alright, no problem.
CCNP study sessions are going very very slowly at the moment. I'm doing self-study, you see? I got my CCNA 2 yrs ago so I need to upgrade to CCNP before it expires (CCNA is valid for 3 yrs). Still on the first book (out of 4 books), Routing Exam. Too many routing protocols! :( BGP, OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, bla de bla!

I tell you, it was pretty hard to decide which expert gets the points and what to do with almost all the questions. Most of the comments were pretty good too, I got to learn a lot of new stuff as well.

My name is "Si Thu" by the way, so don't delete any emails that came from that name :D And no jokes about my name please, I've heard almost all permutations: SeeThru, R2D2, C2, Shi-Tu, SeeGuu..yeah..almost every permutation...can you think of some more? :D
Hi Yensid,
The small project will only take me 2 to 3 weeks 'cos it's just recontruct my company database, and joining MSSql with MySql into a big MySql server in linux, and rebuild the web interface. I'm the one who planning it, not work on it, so I will be back soon :)

Hi Chmod, thanks for that info. 4000 active experts is pretty good for a "free" website, where people just come and offer help, and not expect anything in return.
Anyway, I better get to my range (Feb 2003). I've been pretty slack lately.

There are about 1,300,000 to 1,400,000 members in EE.

st_steve, the EE home page says 150,000 (registered) experts, and I believe 80,000 of them are regarded as active - I presume that means they log in regularly;

st_steve,
It takes your 3 days to figure this out? :) All numbers are correct. Chmod talks about the number of experts. My number talk about total membership, askers and experts. And the EE front page talks in big round numbers: over 1,000,000 as oppose to near 2,000,000.
Got it?

I would like to help and have read the information post as well, but I do not have 3 months of consistent time in even though I have been a member for many years. Also, I do not have a recommendation as I do not know any moderators. But I would still like to help and become more involved.

Hey Yensid:
January 03 is DONE! Any more left? LOL I might be a bit slow getting started on the next batch. I'm moving the 23rd - 26th, and won't have access to the net during that time.

Do we get points for cleanup work, or has that just been from the other stuff I've participated in? I don't keep a close track on the points - just trying to help :)

Renots,
For now, you get points only for answering questions. We are working on some incentives for Cleanup Volunteers. So keep track of the number of questions that you have done.

Hi Yensid
Yes, I'm in northern Australia (city: Cairns) and we're smack-in-the-middle of Winter. Of course, it doesn't get that cold in Cairns, around 12 degrees the lowest temperatures at night. A pleasant 25 degrees during the day. Gets mighty (more like "stinking"!) hot in summer though, 35 degrees with around 85% humidity.
Sorry for the weather report. :) I've been really busy at work lately, that's all. Driving here and there like a headless chook as well. And just yesterday, someone sent me to the wrong site, and I ended up 2 hours away from where I was supposed to be. And it was a high priority job as well (server problems at a bank). Oh well...you get that. :)
Will continue with Feb 2003. Dare I ask for a little patience? :)

What should we do with questions like this?

This is an opinion-based question, and everyone's comments can be considered correct. And I can't possibly split 20 points between 10 experts, right?

No, this is going to be longest 20-points question ever. :) But we will be giving out expert points for working on cleanup questions, as a thank you for your help. This plan is part of the CV autograder that we are developing. It will be implemented in 1 1/2 to 2 months.

CV Autograder? That sounds "interesting", even though I have no idea what that is! :D I'm sure you'll let all of us know in due time?
How about some technical information on the EE servers? Just out of interest of course, I'm not going to try to break into the servers to get myself more points or anything like that :D I know it's running a flavour of UNIX, that's about all I know.

Paul,
I agree that the question is too long. I'm thinking how to create a new question without recruiting more volunteers. We have 4 good workers and we are almost done.
st_steve,
The idea of the autogradeer is have the Cleanup Volunteer hit a button and select Delete, Refund or Points for an expert. If no one object, a N grade is automatically given. If an expert objects, the question goes to a special place for Modeator to review. This saves the time of 2 reviews.
I don't know what servers EE are using. I know they are brand new as of 2 weeks ago. An a hint to the CVs here, they are number www1 to www5. If you ever have difficulty accessing www,select one of these others. And the servers are running awefully slow since this afternoon.

Hi st_steve
Hey Paul, we have to stop "chatting" :) I'm already at the new question, but no "chatting" over there, alright? Just pretend you don't know me. :)
Hi st_steve which one you are in? send me email
I've (admittedly briefly) read through your link.
I have a few questions...
First off, I would be willing to assist if I am able.
Now the questions I have:
In reference to the cleanup crew being experts in the areas they clean, what, or who determines if they are experts in that TA?
Is there a minimum amount of work desired by EE Mods? (Such as are you asking for someone to commit to "cleaning" at least 100 Q's a week, or can they say "I can commit to 25 Qs/week")
At the beginning of each month, is there any objection to me wanting to attain the points necessary to maintain my premium status before continuing with cleanup?
Can I change my commitment? (In other words, can I say this week I want to commit to doing 50 Q's and then next week realize that I won't be able to do that many, so commit to 35 Q's and then the week after jump it back to 50 Q's?) or decide I don't want to or am unable to continue cleaning, how easy is it to resign?
and finally, when you have the time, see here:
