Subject: [sussex_mug] Admin: who's next?
Dear Smuggers
I've had a few years administering SMUG now (with some mistakes and one or
two explosions, but the building is still standing).
The difficulty is that my workload these days is extraordinarily high, and
shows no sign of abating. Most of it is email. I feel like a call-centre,
spending about 12 hours a day, every day, replying to emails and doing
admin-type tasks. Unless I'm doing other things, which just defers the
email joy.
The reality has been for some time now that even if I finish work in time
to look at SMUG matters, absolutely the last thing I can face is reading
emails and doing admin tasks (like troubleshooting someone not receiving
email, checking that new members are not spammers etc).
So I think it's time to put on the table that it's time for a successor.
I'm happy to help with a transition process.
All you need is:
1) To learn from my mistakes (principally, that you are no longer an
'ordinary member of the group' and cannot afford to join in when it gets
fractious, as some of you will remember).
2) to be happy to do a few checks on new members and keep an eye on things
getting out of hand.
3) to have the nerve to call a halt to things just as they are starting to
get fun (sorry, but it's often the way: just as people are getting
excited/really enjoying themselves, the rest of the list is getting tired
of the increasingly OT and excitable thread, and quietly leave).
Think it over. I'll try to keep up with the conversation;)
