[Textbook-l] Steward elections

Hello all,

A reminder that the steward elections[1] & reconfirmations[2] are on
now, so please come to Meta and let us know who you think should become
a steward, and which of our current stewards you're unhappy with (that
may include me!).

Stewards are users with complete access to the wiki interface on all
Wikimedia wikis, including the ability to change any and all user rights
and groups. They are tasked with technical implementation of community
consensus, dealing with emergencies, and intervening against crosswiki
vandalism.

Stewards generally do not perform actions on wikis where local users are
available to perform them, except in emergency cases. This position was
originally created to dissociate rights management from software
development.

Stewards are elected roughly annually by the global Wikimedia community,
and appointed from the elected candidates by the Board of Trustees.
Candidates must have a support/oppose ratio of at least 80% with at
least 30 supporting users. Current stewards are confirmed during each
election.

Thanks,
- -Mike
