Title: When do you become a member?
Post by: Helm on May 01, 2006, 08:40:27 pm
I just finished my very first task, and I can't wait to see the result  \\o//. I already got a new one (which I am not so happy about but that's life  :oops:), and I hope to finish it quite soon.

But when do you become a member, and what is the main difference between member and porspect?
I tried to look for the information on the Nexus site, but they only say that they hope to have me as a member soon (so do I).

Thank you for your explanations and any help you can give this poor distracted girl! :)

You become a WTB (want-to-be) team member once all your test tasks are finished, and the speed and quality of that finish is liked :} I think there are two test tasks total, though there may be more sometimes. Once you are a member you continue with assignments, but you also have all information about development - what goes on, what the plans are, etc. When you are a prospect, you're in an application stage where your work is judged for the final decision.

WTB members become full developers once they have proven their dedication and skills - likely to take a few years :}

So basically the work I do is just a test and won't be used?  :'(

Oh, woops :} Sorry if that's how I made it seem. If your work is good (which is bound to be so if you get accepted) of course it will be used in the game!

I've seen your work and I absolutely loved it :} Keep it up!

*edited to add* That's a good question - I think I was accepted on February 17th, according to my IRC logs. So I'm still a very recent addition to the team myself.

Helm, just give time at time :-) I am sure if you do a great work you will see you will become a WTB really soon.
When you become WTB you get some quite nice "advantage", for example, if you join IRC you can join the -devs channel where all the team members are and you can participate in the weekly meetings.

Just for the chronicles - I know Helm was not interested though :D  - I join PS team as WTB the 21th of July :-)
