can we be mod and staff?

It is an interesting question, I myself think that Mod have more power at forum while staff may involve in more other works of the team eg: Article writing, tutorials and documentation for templates and extension, email support and even taking part in discussion of business issues of JA.

So I think a Mod still need to apply to become a Staff member as well

What would be the advantage of becoming a JoomlArt Staff Volunteer? I haven’t seen anything to indicate that there would be something in return for doing this. I’m not sure that I am getting the point here.

Respect, glory? Warm fuzzy feelings? maybe a dev membership? Who knows?

Yeah, but why would I want to do this? I’m starting to think that instead of hiring some actual staff to help out in the forum JA would like to put JA Staff next to a volunteers name and then proceed as though something has actually changed here in the way of support. Promises…promises.

Hmmn without getting too deep into it on the forum, I would rather ask, what do you want, or expect JA to give YOU to become staff support etc, you sound like you expect demand cash? payment. That’s fine, I’d love 50 bucks per hour but it’s not going to happen.

We as developer members have a higher expectation of longevity of Joomlart as a company, the company may or may not have staffing, financial problems whatever, but I know many here have joined paid for a 5 yr developers licence, that’s a lot more than $70 buck basic membership.

It’s in those ppls interest that JA stays open for business for the next 5 years, if we developer members and others have to spend an hour a day online and a few offline developing guides etc to ensure the continued progress and future of JA then it’s in our interest to do so. I find helping others with css and coding forces me to get of my ass and try some solutions look at code etc something I got really slack at and started loosing skills I had learned as a result of inaction.

So I benefit in some small way myself.

I could go on but that’s enough of my answer

I have said in a previous post/section I’m concerned that we support ppl will be used to free up Ja resources so they can continue to hire out as freelancers etc etc and leave us with the bag as you are concerned also about , but i am pushing for some answers and will be emailing Hung and the major support volunteers to get together with ideas etc

Cheers Shannonn

There is many solutions here, but no clear answer yet.
ShannoN & bigrk, you have many good points there and many questions that needes to be answered.

And myself, i feel that this here shouldnt take so long time to get going.
Many of you have writed and complain about support etc, not only the last week, i have read posts about that since i joined here also.
To make JA the greatest club and make it stay on top, it both need to deliver 1 class templates(2 pr month as usual) and 1 class support(there is many people who really needs alot of help,from installing joomla to install a template +++++++).
I have said yes to be part of the support here, why?
I enjoy to help out people.
What do i excpect to get back?
It all depends on the JA team, but i have some ideas that might come out good for all of us.

I’m curious why anyone in their right mind would shell out almost $2,500.00 to buy a five year developer membership when the only developer membership being offered is one year for $499.00. That sounds extremely risky to me.
