[Cc-webedit] Swoop as Past Action?

[Jon Leighton]

Ok let's not get into a big pointless discussion. I said that I agreed
with your change to the layout of the page, but that I would have liked
the web group to be consulted first. If we are working in a consensus
group, that's important.

With regard to "access", you have never asked for access to the code of
the website. I don't object to this so long as we have some sort of
process about how changes are agreed and pushed to the live site. As I
have pointed out before the code is all in a git version control system,
and you can browse it here: http://code.climatecamp.org.uk/ (login
details on Crabgrass). If you want to get involved in the coding of the
site, perhaps we can discuss how that would work at the next meeting.

Finally, I don't understand the "I don't like having to ask people to do
things for me" mentality. If we are a website *group* that implies we
work together. Part of that is communicating and helping each other, and
if the end goal is the making the best website we can (as opposed to
satisfying our egos) then I think it's important.
