Fine, Ed I'll do it. I wasnt going to anytime soon... but Vicki helped me make up my mind. Funny how that works out.. Its not a lack confidence... Its the expectation of responsibility balanced with other things... but I've seen sysops on the list who only chime in from time to time... so... OK!
I ''totally'' agree with the demystification, and politicization... but I dont think that Joe Anon should just show up, do some stuff for a couple of weeks... I guess I'd be afraid of the potential harm...But I dont know what limits those are, should there be any. I guess Im also curious about SSL and sysopdom, and the such... If someone really wanted to 'fork' the wikipedia they could get access pretty easily couldnt they? -Stevertigo.
