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.
