The CUCP construction is:
- the User allocates a _regular_ time slot, probably 1..2 hours a week,
that the User makes absolutely clear of any other task; e.g. "every
Wednesday 6pm to 7pm". Girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/kids/friends configured
to know this time slot is dedicated to pcb-rnd.
- it is okay if occasionally something real important preempts, but that
shouldn't happen too often - just pick a time slot that you can dedicate
- the User signs up for the CUCP, tells me the time slot chosen
- before each slot, the User gets detailed instructions what needs to be
done; these don't require any special skills, just some real basic pcb-rnd
user level know-how and usually the latest svn version of pcb-rnd. Tasks
come in real small portions, usually doable in 1 hour.
Benefits for the user:
- visible, appreciated contribution to the project
- regular progress, something you can look back at after months or years
and can see what you have done
- no responsibilities and complications: you don't need to oversee
or worry about an overall state of the CUCP, don't need to coordinate
anything, so there's no long-term responsibility involved. It's really
just lending your brain & fingers for 1..2 hours a week
- fixed time frame: the CUCP understands that you offer that specific
amount of time, and will not push for more; this task won't grow to eat up
your free time
