Robb said yesterday that his cardkey was not working.
I'm sure our crakerjack team of hackers will right the
problem ASAP so I am requesting that a time and date
be arranged for making cardkeys for those of us w/o them.
I was told one could make their own by swiping a card
three times and then telling Jenny immediately. Is that close
to an actual process?
That is pretty much the process, yes. The "official" place to send
card requests is the sysadmins list:
sysadmins(a)lists.omnicommons.org
https://omnicommons.org/lists/listinfo/sysadmins
But when talking to people in person it's often just easier to say
"tell me" because then you don't have to spell another email address
outloud. Sometimes in an attempt to make the conversation go faster
I've told people to email keys(a)omnicommons.org or
cards(a)omnicommons.org because we have an email system which catches
everythingelse(a)omnicommons.org so they all go to the same list pretty
much, and a lot of the same people read that list. But I guess that's
the kind of thing which makes things more confusing in an attempt to
be less confusing.
