Whatever has happened, do we have any other editor who is somewhat experienced and willing
to take the responsibility of the coordinator of the weekly collaboration?
There is not many nominations in the page. Although "The Special User" could be
a good coordinator, apparently he is taking a wiki break. And the other candidate,
Kruttika, I feel does not have enough experience in en.wikipedia.
Anyone else interested?
Regards,
Dwaipayan Chakraborti
