Volunteer Response Team (VRT)/Volunteer Response Team System (VRTS)

edit

The name Volunteer Response Team references the status of members as volunteers, that their primary function is responding to requests and inquiries, and that there is a team and community of agents. The name VRT is used when referencing the community, so VRT is used for the name of the wiki, mailing lists (vrt-xx@lists.wikimedia.org), and any pages or mentions on other wikis relating to the operation of the team.

Other examples:

otrs-wiki.wikimedia.org becomes vrt-wiki.wikimedia.org
volunteers-otrs wikimedia.org becomes volunteers-vrt wikimedia.org

The name Volunteer Response Team System references the software used by the VRT. The name VRTS is used when referencing the software system itself, associated pages and processes on the wikis, such as the VRTS administrators, lists of queues, the global user group vrts-permissions, instructions, and other things relating to the operation of the system.
