Hi everyone,
As you may have remembered reading. Huib--our longtime volunteer moderator
for mediawiki-l and wikitech-l--resigned from his positions back in February[0].
I let this slip longer than I should've, but I'd like to now make the
call for a new
batch of list moderators for mediawiki-l and wikitech-l.
I think it's very important to have more than one moderator per list,
so I'm looking
for several candidates to help with moderation with one (or both)
lists. It's a pretty
low maintenance job (the occasional spammer), as Huib and myself have always
had a very light-handed moderation policy and have preferred to let discussions
run their course.
So, if this is something you're interested in helping out with, please
respond to
this off-list and tell me why. Don't need an essay, just a sentence or two about
who you are and why you'd like to volunteer. I'll give it a couple of
days for people
to think about it and e-mail me, and I'll pick some people by late next week.
Thanks, and have a good weekend :)
I'd like to first thank everyone who e-mailed me to volunteer. I got a
bunch of great names, and I've narrowed it down to two people. Please
join me in welcoming your two new list admins: Platonides and Andre
Klapper.
Platonides has been a long-time community member and is well known
by all. Andre's our bug wrangler and has quickly proven himself as being
a friendly newcomer.
Again, welcome to you both, and thank you everyone.
