Revision as of 01:09, 1 October 2011
Many previous admins have become inactive. Let's discuss a few points:
- Do we need more admins?
- If yes: What should we look for in a good admin? Who wants to? Who should do the job? Admins should be chosen in public, by the wiki user base.
- Proposed policy: If you're inactive for one solid year, you lose your admin rights. You can get them back again at any time you wish. (I doubt anybody will make use of that option, but it would feel somehow disrespectful not to provide it.)
