The Centralug site is run on a "catch as catch-can basis". The admins are myself, Ed Lawson, and Bob Sparks. We pretty much back each other up (if one misses approving a submission, then one of the others will catch it). Note that I just added you as a site admin - you should get mail separately. > I'm not looking for changes to it anytime soon, just trying to get > the structure/process documented up so when I need it, I know what to do. > Also, not trying to step on toes here - believe me, I think everything's > running great - part of the job I do is business continuity planning and a > couple of things stick out.

You mentioned documenting, so I took the liberty of adding some topics to your previous page. With any luck and some time, either I'll fill them in or anyone else will/can. If there are any CentraLUG contacts under my name, then they should be placed under yours or Ed's (pending the outcome of your meeting with Ed Lawson). I believe you now have the ability to change both the TWiki and the centralug site. (Just beware that these things are donated resources, and aren't backed up). I'm not sure what you meant by "is assign domains/IP Space/etc", but I'm not sure its practical to get additional IP space and domain names without someone paying for it. (And paying for things requires more of an organizational structure than a lot of our membership is willing to tolerate). > Again, not trying to step on toes - just something that I came > across while gathering information. Sometime, you just gotta step on toes when things aren't being done. Of course, doing so politely is always better. --Bruce
