i see value in having full time or part time designated so that potential volunteers understand the commitment. i also see value in ensuring v's are credited, because whilst this week is not about credit, everyone likes to be acknowledged. (cont'd)

I agree with the proposal, though I'm not sure I agree with the full time/part time terminology...I need to think more on the terms.

now, we discussed in the group that the purpose of this was to a) give credit where credit is due, and b) allow for potential volunteer recruits to understand where they could fit in time-wise... am i understanding this right?

yup :)

This idea of equitable credit sharing is extremely challenging, as there are personal feelings involved, and I've given this a lot of thought.
I think we should have a "history of WMW" section somewhere (web site probably, or maybe a blogpost) that explains the idea of WMW, who originally shared the concept, who jumped aboard to make it happen, how the effort changed from WMW11 to WMW12, and then how the concept is being brought to life presently (using Loomio, other tech, etc.). I think there is huge value and potential to build community around sharing the full history of WMW.
HOWEVER, I don't agree that WMW has a "founder" or "charter volunteers" or any other common term. I'm sorry if that hurts feelings, I am trying to reconcile in my head that I very much felt that I had this idea myself once upon a time but never expressed it because I thought it was far too bold. So when the idea was presented in the HM4HB Facebook space, I was thrilled that it was well-received and I immediately jumped onboard to help, and never said a word about "I thought of that, too". To me, this effort is about milksharing, not credit, and I would just as soon see no names on the volunteer list. But truly, ALL names should be on the list, and their contributions accurately described.
