Hello, I've committed an experimental reorganisation of the NM templates. The templates were intended as a repository of questions the AM can pick from according to what they'd like to ask a specific candidate. Something to be adapted on a case by case basis. However, their affordance produced a tendency to just post the whole lot, making NM often unnecessarily long, both for the applicant and for the AM who needs to review the answers. Therefore I went through the templates with a metaphorical axe. A rather big one, too. The deleted questions have been moved to *_extra.txt files, so the repository of questions is still as rich as before. However, it should now require a bit more effort to ask extra questions, so in theory by default it will be done only when needed. This said, I'd like to repeat that the templates are not a list of questions DAM wants to be asked. The only really needed one is the SC+DMUP endorsement. AMs should otherwise evaluate applicants as they see fit. Please do not just blindly take templates from the svn repo and throw them to your applicant without applying your own common sense. It wouldn't be the first time that there are bits in the templates one wouldn't send to their applicants unless one were blindly copy&pasting. Let me know what you think of the reorganisation I've done. Ciao, Enrico -- GPG key: 4096R/E7AD5568 2009-05-08 Enrico Zini <enrico@enricozini.org>
