Forum talk:Administration Discussion/@comment-8-20120217013416/@comment-8-20120221035119

Sirblah: This is a first draft based on the discussion so far, so includes admin/b'crat thoughts. Although, of course, now we need thoughts on this first version from them and others :)

To answer Mathmagician's questions:

1. This is always a tricky one. I believe the best way is to keep working to build up a community that talks to each other. If it's part of the norms of the group to discuss things fairly, reasonably and in clear and inclusive ways, then that helps encourage people to participate. 2. My picture for the future is to select each as needed. So when admins feel more help is needed (in either role), they ask for nominations. Does that sound like it might work? Or would it be better to allow anyone to nominate at any time? 3. I agree the short-term picture is different, and we should look at the whole community for people suitable to be admins and bureaucrats and build up the group.
