Well i see some problems on the security side, but else i would like to see more people in charge for the stuff they are allready doing (i propose cruft as an (super)mod, he is allready contributing a lot in terms of linux source code and i would realy like him "on the team").
for the technical stuff:
- the websites are allready dedicated to the one operating the site (allthough some issues with access rights do remain, Cheeseh can delete anr write, but not overwrite ???).
- the wiki should only need major cleanups each quarter or half year
- the filebase mostly shows, that sourcefore is needed to lower the traffic (see JoeBOT in the stats, it 95% of all downloads), else it's fine and working, since no extra userbase or admin management is needed
- the forum is a bit of pain for me, i do not have enough insides, and probably even don't want to get into it too deep
- the BU source tree is a mess, a big mess, but here i can only suggest, that each user makes up the sources he uses and i will try to merge them into one tree, which in turn will be made avail. via cvs (pls comments on this)
- for the strange linux, well have not seen a single system used so intesivly not showing occasional hickups. all trouble since the hoster had restored their kernel was caused by the (perl sic!) Spamfilter, the rest is running smoothly as far i'm concerned
- IRC is not used (hi Frapenoodle, lonesome ranger) widely, i would even consider switching it off and replace it by some simple php/perl "meeting room" that would allow for quick conferences/private sessions.

in general i suggest that we make a fixed way of how to roll out services, and how to put council decissions into place, with timeframe and whom to decide any remaining open or arising issues.

also i would vote for a forum deticated to the server (i tried with the wiki, but a wiki is too usefull to use it only for that kind of stuff, also it has no ACL), preferably a forum only for mods+council+server-admins (security paranoia).

that are my thoughts for now, but i'm in a hurry ATM, i will probaly have more to say the coming days (friday afternoon my stress is over).

cheers
