Okay, I just wanted to be clear that there wasn't a feeling that people weren't doing enough. I wasn't aware what was being discussed on Discord, so excuse my presumption on the issue. I checked it out for a bit when we first implemented it, but I found it too distracting from my work on the wiki and assumed that nobody was doing more than having general discussion there. As you explain it, I can see how it can be a useful tool for some. Maybe I'll give it a second chance.

Aside for Sungod, RE the Facebook page: That was made when it was thought the forums were being shut down immediately. But no real discussion goes on there save for getting the attention of Jamie or Nathan when there are pressing issues that need their attention.

But yeah, I get where you are all coming from.

In light of the concerns that everyone is bringing up, I think that's probably a good indication that we need an organisational structure. I feel that it's not just that people have their outside lives to juggle with this, but I think that certain elements of maintaining a wiki is either out of someone's interest or skill base.

For example, my interest is in filling all the gaps in information -- primarily issue summaries at this point. Some of us are focused on adding content. Others are interested in making sure that all the most recent information is there, others are doing the day-to-day maintenance, others looking for vandals.

With an organisational structure we can organise teams that deal with specific tasks. Without getting too off topic here, I'll draft up my idea in a new post, I hope you'll all consider the idea and provide input when I write it up.

Getting back on point: Annabelle has made a clear case that there are issues that I was unaware of and the need for more admins is actually needed, so perhaps my idea of a cap on admins is impractical.

To be clear, personally, I have no issue with SunGod and NurdBoy being appointed admins, I did want to open it up a bit and see if the others on the Content Mod branch were aware that we were looking for new admins. I just wanted to be sure everyone got a voice and if more appointments were warranted we didn't have to bug a bureaucrat more than once.

All said, it looks like most others are not interested at this present time, I think we can move forward on the appointments of Sungod and Nurdboy.

I still think we should reach out to the semi-actives and active admins that haven't been overly present find out if they want to get back in/where they can help. I can reach out to the ones I can get the ball rolling if that's what needs doing.
