[DEFINITIVE] Gmail queue !


Recommended Posts

Ok, i've invited kainashi and andRUWeir

i've had like 25 invites so far, 95% of them i've given to friends and family. We should be getting some more for fathers day .. since we did for mothers day ... if we do i'll hit this thread up again :)

Please try to go down the list and not pick random people on and off the list. Otherwise, don't use this thread to distribute your invites.

Crap ive been sitting at the top of that list for a while now, and now i've realised i aint got enough posts, aaaaaaghghghghg!

Please? I'll send all my invitations back to this topic and help you lot get through the list.

Well, as it was our mistake in putting you on the list, we'll keep you on the list. However, to everybody else, I will not add you to the list unless you PM me, and I will not add you if you do not meet the requirements, period.

hmmm... seems like this is only for flooders...

readers can't get an account... hm...

You don't get on the list if you're a flooder; you get on the list if you are an active Neowin member. Note both the post count requirement and the date requirement. Five months is more than enough time to make 300 intelligent posts that aren't flooding Neowin.

Here is the latest version of "the list."

and how do you know, if i'm a flooder or not?

how can you say, that my ~80 posts are so importants as another's 800, or not...

hmmm, i don't agree with the google's system so far...

who received the first invitations? i was one of the first in suscribing to gmail maillist, and I'm suscribed to the Google Labs maillist, but I didn't get any invitation...

woah.

MSN forever.

Well, this isn't a perfect system. We can't tell that every post someone has made isn't completely stupid. However, we made rules that we thought were as fair as possible, without requiring a thorough background check on each person applying. Also, being on the Google mailing list has nothing to do with getting invitations to Gmail. The first person to get invitations to Gmail were those close to the project and their families, and then those users got invites to do with as they chose, and so on. Also, it doesn't matter whether you agree with Google's system. They are slowly adding more accounts to test server stability, and they can do that however they want. I'm sorry that you don't qualify for this list, but we might relax the requirements once we get everybody off of it.

relaxing the requirements with 50 fifty posts, down to 250 would be gooooood :)

I don't the system is perfect either, it's a bit unfair to me. But there has to be some limit, their always has to be a limit when you want organization of something. And limits are there to be accepted

very good point

if there weren't these requirements, this thread possibly won't function as it has

I still haven't got feedback from the three people you said to send invites to earlier, so shall I offer them to people on the list above ?

nope i recommend a 24 hours wait before you decide to give them away to next bunch of people. (you know people sleep and work too, can spend all time on neowin waiting)

Come on, relax, you are making me weepy !

Yeah, he wasn't supposed to but he was added to the list awhile ago and I suppose wasn't checked ;)

edit - lol that wasn't from me, maybe xplatinum or ZTrang

Yes, it was my fault that debianfan got an account (though good for him). I accidentally added some people to the list as I was speeding through the then 40-odd pages of posts, and didn't always check to see whether they met the limit. I apologize to those of you I've turned down from the list; it wasn't intentional.

Whom do I contact (in PM) if I have a invite to give away to the next person waiting in queue? xplatinum or ZTrang or someone else?

Look at the latest version of the list (previous page; Zimbo is the one who gets the next invite). Contact me, or whoever is maintaining the list, or just post on the thread (like you just did), if you can't figure out who to invite.

Okay everybody, I'm leaving for several hours, so if there are more invites to give away, somebody else should continue to update this list until I get back. Here is the latest copy of "the list."

i have 5 more to give away,  but i wont do a lucky dip like last time

xpplatinum: you want me to send the links to you? i trust you to dish them out etc

Just take the next five people on the list (above), send PM's to them, and then post who you have invited so I can remove them from the list.

Edit: they don't need to have responded; just post to whom you have sent invitations.

    • Anyway to download these versions without being on the Experimental builds?
    • Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
