I'm off for a few days. Brion is empowered to do whatever is necessary in case of an emergency to restore the peace, following of course our usual principles. Jason's generally available for techincal crises requiring physical intervention, and also Jason has my cellphone number, which will surely work at least some of the time. :-) --Jimbo

Uh, I see that Brion is away, too. So I empower Magnus to do whatever is necessary in case of an emergency to restore the peace, etc., etc. --Jimbo

Hm... how many people have to "disappear" before I get to be in charge of Wikipedia myself? And what are their addresses? :) --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.497 / Virus Database: 296 - Release Date: 7/4/2003

*grin* Well, I'm back now. When I do that, it's only when I'm on vacation, and it is really just in came something BIG happens such that some decision has to be made, and just in case there's not a clear consensus of the people with developer access as to what to do. Sometimes a focal point for action is needed, just to do *something* in an emergency. Brion and Magnus and Lee know the software better than anyone else (I guess), and have ssh access to the server. --Jimbo

I'm still lurking too, BTW, even though I haven't done much lately.
