Yes. Unfortunately, that is not uncommon. Three months is not even that uncommon. It's a good idea to give a gentle reminder every three weeks or so, as you did. (I've been waiting for a registration for about two months now as well.) > > Also, I believe volunteers to represent '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' are always > > welcome, so if you want to help speed things up for other people, you > > could join in ;) > > Does that mean I can approve my own request? ;-) I believe so ;). That was one reason why I, at one point, considered joining the ranks of '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' voluntarily, but I wasn't sure whether I had enough CFT to really do the job justice. I think that different admins have different levels of power -- for example, I think everyone can register a CPAN ID for a new user, but not everyone can approve a module, or something like that. I think only Andreas König can add a module to the Official Module List, but that might change in the future -- I believe they're re-thinking how things work and who gets to do what. Cheers, Philip
