As the current Admins in DCW have no clue how to code/debug the code in Templates, I believe that the Templates in DCW should be unlocked for editing by those who do know. (There were a grand total of 4 Bureaucrats/Admins who could code - Jens, Nmtan, Andibad and I.)
(Obviously I have no intention of contributing to DCW while Rianza33 is "in charge". As she is so fond of saying, "I do not work for you." In fact, I will add that "You work for the community." And it appears I am now part of the community once again. :] )
Any monkey with typing skills can edit pages, put up new announcements, borrow pictures from somewhere to put up. The monkey with a couple of extra buttons can also ban and unban people.
However, coders are a much rarer breed. I made a request several months earlier in CC for coders. None of them have shown up who have shown ability to help DCW.
In the community's interest of continued growth in DCW, I think un-protecting the Templates is a good way to start.
I would like to point out that the action I request is not entirely necessary for the community. We can always all leave and go somewhere else. Other sites are after all, both prompt with updates and working properly.
Just my opinion, perhaps -- but true nonetheless.
Please discuss.
