Updated to replace the "Recruitment Policies" discussion with the revised draft of the placement form discussion.
Public announcement from me only, peoples
I'm posting this mostly because I'm getting really tired of running damage control.
I, personally, do not agree with the idea of limiting anyone's entry into any guild. Most of the people I've met in the Maintainers Supporters also don't feel that it is right to restrict entry (like, 99.9% of us). I don't believe there's any intent in the guild at this time to do so, but when that initial discussion was created, there were people who wanted to do that. It's embarrassing and I don't like having it in our forums, OK?
Between myself and some of the other folks in the forum, we have written up a placement form. It's *not* an application, and we will not be denying anyone membership (like we could! We're not even official, and I don't expect that to happen any time soon).
Really, it's just so that we can get to know you and know your interests, so we can hook you up with the right people when you get started. It's not official. Nothing's official, it's all under discussion. If you don't think that even having a placement form is a good idea, that's fine, but it would be nice to have actual contribution to the discussion rather than yelling and screaming in places where it can't be addressed easily.
Please, before anyone else goes jumping to conclusions, please take the time to read through our discussions thoroughly. We are really very friendly people. We talk things over in detail. We listen. We don't bite, and we want you to come play with us.
