I'll have time to help out as well starting next week. I wonder if we could get the OM techs to create another mailing list started like [EMAIL PROTECTED] so we can communicate to one another about organization plans, etc.
The other thing to consider, as well, is what Brenda's role is with regards to the wiki. As I understood it, managing the wiki was her position within the company. Obviously a daunting task for a single person, so perhaps we need to make sure she's in the loop, or managing the team, etc. Like Josh, I can give a few hours per week to make the wiki a less confusing place to be. -id Josh Monson wrote: > I will volunteer a few hours each week towards this. > > Editing, cleanup, moving content, updating content, organization, > etc..... > > I'm in. > > John Reese or Torfinn are you 2 also volunteering?
