Out of respect for him, I've never really measured out the
time it takes for
him to reply. :)

This is not a concern about the quality of the contacts'
work, which is
fantastic, but rather the fact that we have only
two people
in this role
and
their availability is sometimes limited. We currently only have two
contacts, but sometimes their other Wikimedia and real-life
commitments
create delays.
Afaik, the problem doesn't come from the Foundation but from
Freenode, who
is very reticent about opening this position to other people.
Sean is doing a great work and he is very efficient ; "some
days" is an
acceptable delay, it used to be several weeks some months ago.

I think it would be good to have more contacts if Freenode is willing to
allow it, even though I think the current volunteers are doing well given
the time demands... The turnaround from Sean is awesome compared to what it
used to be before Sean started helping out. Not that my assent is required
but I want to say I would be comfortable with any of the folks I saw
volunteer (Cbrown1023, Majorly, Drini) and apologise if I missed some ...
Can Freenode be asked if they would allow more contacts given our sizeable
IRC userbase?
