Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I suppose in theory, yes, but I've never seen it happen.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I don't think the ST would be comfortable with that. Giving curator permissions to one person is OK, but to several people at once... i just don't see it happening.  hmm

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

If it's just one person, I don't see why not.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

Well then, what would be the difference than that user applying on their own?

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I mean if it's one user controlling the account, and all other users of the collaboration give parts of the speech?

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

Couldn't they just curate the projects on their main accounts though?

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

Well, currently we're thinking that it's not a good idea.  When we pick somebody for Curator duties, there is some training involved and we need to be sure they understand the responsibilities of the position.  With a group of people, all using one account, we could never be sure who we were actually talking to and who actually doing the work so accountability is lacking.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

Paddle, just to clarify, he said it would be only one person controlling the account.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I think it would be possible, but highly unlikely.  hmm 

Having one person as a curator is normal, but 2-5, maybe more... could get out of hand. Especially at once  tongue

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I meant 1 person controlling the account, and other people in the collaboration give suggestions for the person to curate, and the people in the collaboration give parts of the application.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

I think the user doing the actual curating could have a better chance of being chosen if they used their regular account. It would better show who they actually are, and put the Team's mind at ease about having multiple people on it.
And i suppose other users could help them with their speech.

Re: Can collaboration accounts...

Where would the speech go?

I suspect in the Project Ideas?
