As it is now - there is equal access to the webserver for all board members. That means each of us has the same powers to adjust things given the need. That access (involving ssh to the server) allows us to do things that aren't already available through standard tools: - for the webpage we do most administration through the web interface (the administrators who can do that are not limited to the board members, there are a couple more with the same access rights,) Very seldom there is a need to query/modify the database or hack on the code directly). We have devided our attention amongst different areas of services, but that doesn't mean if one goes away, that others couldn't fit the empty shoes. The same will be true for mailinglists and bugtracker. > I have to answer this kind of question all of the time for my > customers.
