What about a Council-o-Meter?

[Jane]

I sometimes feel that whatever the thing is that I would like to ask the Council *today* might just be the straw that breaks the camel's back, so I wondered if a Council Status 'sticky' in the LOA forum would be useful.

It could be illustrated!

:2thumbs: ... Bother us now, the pile of work is as low as it's ever going to get.

:computer: ... We're flat out right now so expect a few delays on low priority items.

:kettensaege: ... This is not a good time, we're dealing with essentials only.

Just a thought.

We weren't sure if you were teasing us or not, Jane, so we discussed this, and here is our answer to your suggestion! Thank you

Its an idea, but we don't really have time to vote every time for which level of Council Status we are currently at. We think its probably better that we concentrate on getting our admin stuff done. So, though its a nice idea, we just honestly don't have time to keep it up.

Also, we think it would be good for everyone to keep in mind that even though you don't see us discussing every question that comes up, we certainly do discuss them. We just have to answer them by order of importance. If you've submitted a question and we haven't answered you within a week, feel free to send a friendly nudge, but also bear in mind, if we haven't answered you yet, chances are something bigger has come up and that is what we are devoting our limited time to.

I wasn't teasing!

But I shall just send everything along, then, and you can prioritise among it.
