Sorry about the term ” deaf ears” if you noticed toward the end of my post I diluted it with ” eerie silence” it is all about euphemisim, and after all it is all meant to say that there was no reply. That is all. However, if you found it to be too strong, plase accept my sincere apology. I’m actually too new in here and not familiar with the do’s and dont’s of the forum. I have to learn how to restrain my rehetoric as I sometimes have tendency to become heavy handed .

Ameen,
Sorry to disagree with you, volunteer or no volunteer, you have to have a title no matter what you do. A shoe shine boy has a title, a dish washer has a title so is the nuclear scientist has a title. It has nothing to do with pay either.

Oh, and Hatem, chillax dude. That’s the open source spirit. And since you’re wikipedia-sessive, here’s a definition of Volunteerism from wikipedia:

Volunteerism is the willingness of people to work on behalf of others without the expectation of pay or other tangible gain. Volunteers may have special training as rescuers, guides, assistants, teachers, missionaries, ham radio operators and in other positions. But the vast majority work on an impromptu basis, recognising a need and filling it, whether it be the dramatic search for a lost child or the mundane giving of directions to a lost visitor.

Regarding the Wikipedia article, I am waiting for it as well, I don’t think that anyone need an approval or a blessing to write a new article in wikipedia. After all the wiki allows anyone to create and edit anything. So whoever would like to promote Jordan Planet in the way he/she thinks is good, great thanks go to him/her. If anyone needs help from me personally, or from Jordan Planet please speak up.

From what I read in Feras’s and Naseem’s posts they said they would like to do it, and so, I didn’t expect that there is something needed from my side. “Deaf ears” is kind of a strong expression for this. For me, in such project, and volunteer spirit, no approval should be needed or expected. Naseem wrote a great piece in JO about Jordan planet, and so did Natasha. As well Lina, Ammar, Roba and many others had been supporting JP without waiting for “green lights” or anything. So I hope that everyone do.

Jordan Planet now have a Forum, I hope to move this discussion to it, in order to have everyone involved..

Thank you very much Hatem for your great feedback, and I look forward continuing this discussion in the JP Forum

You can begin by developing organizational structure, by creating a certain number of position titles, you can appoint individuals for the positions identified, or hold elections for the nominees.

I think that you have enough members to hold a plenary. It is very important in any organization or association to know who is the “go to” person for this or for that need.

I noticed that Firas raised some concerns on at least two different occasions but regrettably I haven’t heard any feed back addressing some of his concerns.

I remember he requested that a piece about Jordan Planet be considered for Wikipidia, and his request fell on deaf ears although the same topic was raised for a second time by Naseem Tarawneh, and then more recently Firas inquired about the criteria with which the topics that will be reposted in the global gets selected, but again an eerie silence was the only thing that we heard.

but i saw we go public and become a stock. any one second that say I.

but what do yo umean by “I have to promise them that Jordan planet will stay a non-profit project”? ya zalameh waray beit w wlad ana…they don’t pay graduate students well here wil banzeen ghili..

Allah ydeemak la ilna ya Isam ya taj rasna ya kbeerna…
