Hi!
I'm told volunteers are capable of editing wiki pages and posting to mailing
lists. I haven't been able to independently verify this, though.
I'm told that some volunteers can be extremely obnoxious too.

Just to make sure we don't jump to the wrong conclusion.
This is my fourth Board election. Every time we have relied on Software in the
