The project team is a group of members dedicated to overseeing AVEN's many efforts to bring education and visibility to the outside world.
Contents
History and Controversy
The first Project Team was made up of eleven members elected in the week of June 15 to June 22, 2006.[1] The team was given their own forum, which anyone could see, but only they could post in. Within this forum, they worked on projects such as this Wiki, AVENues, a pen-pal exchange, the AVEN store, and a set of pamphlets.
After a promising start, the Project Team fell prey to inactivity and the resignation of many team members. It was hard to find new members to replace the ones who had left. As a stopgap measure, AVENguy appointed several people to the Project Team without electing them.[2] There was talk about holding new elections, but even with the new members, there were fewer than eleven people on the Project Team, so elections never happened.
Due to the lack of elections, the AVEN public (and even some Project Team members) were not aware of who exactly was on the Project Team and who wasn't. There was an increasing perception of the remaining Project Team as insular and bureaucratic[3] and concern over a lack of democracy and accountability[4].
After discussion[5], the remaining members of the Project Team decided to scrap the original Project Team. Instead of being private to the Project Team, the Project Team forum would now be open to all members of AVEN[6], with five Project Team moderators overseeing and keeping track of the projects. The new PT-mods were elected in July 2007[7]. Due to a tie, six rather than five were elected.
Current Project Team Moderators
Hallucigenia, Shockwave and SpirallingSnowy are the only Project Team moderators who were also in the previous Project Team.
