New noticeboard

On 31 August 2012 I proposed a noticeboard on the private list 'chapters@wikimedia.ch' as follows:

There were no alternative suggestions, and there was general support, so here it is. John Vandenberg (talk) 22:13, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

At Talk:CN I've suggested that "CN" be the shortcut, but it might be too early to implement that. John Vandenberg (talk) 22:21, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
You could ask the stewards how their Stewards' noticeboard works. As far as I know, it's a very useful tool for an extremely limited subset of issue which are better tracked on wiki. --Nemo 22:27, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
I prefer the Arbitration Committee noticeboard model, which is strictly notices, with the talk page being used to discuss the issues at hand. However I havent seen any other noticeboard use an approach similar to that, so I suspect that it will operate like the Stewards' noticeboard (SN), and may even be more 'chatty' than the SN. People outside the chapters will occasionally want to ask questions or raise issues, and they will pick the most central and visible page they can.
