I noticed that many of my previous try before you buy items went more smoothly when I was actively facilitating everybody by streamlining the sinklist process ( manually )

Ceesa is using a more de-centralized approach which I like a lot and used for my latest items, but somehow this decentralized approach does not work that well for the items I am spreading around.

Then it hit me : until there is a fully automated way to manage these items ( via a website , but this will take a loooong time for me to build ) I'd like to make it possible for people to step up and manage an item for the community( manage the participants list, manage the collecting of addresses and forwarding them, following up on delayed sinklist items ) and as a reward they would receive the contents of the surprise bag.

This is the rough outline of the idea : help me manage the sinklist items and get rewarded with the surprise bag ( which is filled by the different participants of the list )

So? What do you think?

Thanx Fossala!

For free?

Nah.....

Efforts like that need to be reciprocated

Any preference on which list to manage? There is an upcoming try before you buy item ( mousetrapper and rollermouse ) which I'd like to tour the CONUS first.

Ok, you are the second tbybi list manager of DT! Thanx!

Any preference on item?

Could you make a list of the upcoming rounds in the OP?
Are there any other things in planning then the mousetrapper/rollermouse? Also, I was going to offer to add my filco trackpad to that sinklist, since I hardly use it anyways.

Cool! Another item!

I'll update the OP with the status of the items later.

I'd be happy to help too. I'm really impressed how smooth the tbybs are going in this community.

I'll handle that. I don't have a GH account though. Would this be a problem.

Nope.

Would love to help out this great community

Thanx.

I put you on the managers list.

That doesn't sound too hard, I am here all day anyway so why not.

Welcome to the manager's list!

i would love to help out too

Alright, consider yourself added!

Put me down to manage two Trybag rounds. I would have taken Asia, but I think tinlong is more qualified for that. Ill take care of CONUS and EU.

I can help out as well.

@ Acanthopis : I put you on the manager list. Thanx!

I have enough managers now.

Please have a look at the different sinklist items and post your preference in this thread. ( Some of those items have already been allocated )

I'll concoct a little 'manual' as to now the process should go. I am always open to suggestions as to better ways to manage it, but for now I am very thankful for all the offered help.

Hi mrinterface,
I'm definitely okay!

I'd be fine with anything but Cherry STN or STB would be prefered,

You are now the official Sinklist Manager of a beautifully crafted Cherry STN...

I'll take the Topre Cluster, but I'd be fine with anything else too

I'll manage whatever is left.

I´ll take the Alps STN.

And thanx for writing a manual, I was wondering about that

There,

It's done.

All items have a manager.

I'll start a separate group section just for us 8....
