We presently have five Staff volunteers (besides myself), so thanks to
Nerwen, Viv. Soledad, Stella, and Pervinca. We'll be putting you all to
work shortly. ;-) Contacting authors will be the first order of business,
but categorizing will fall in quickly. Vote counting, of course, won't
happen until Voting Season, though we might have a few practice runs to
callibrate ourselves, so to speak.

What could we use more of? Author contacting could use a few more. It's
not critical, but the more we have the less work we each have to do. Vote
counting can always take more. Then we can divide up by categories and
spread the workload.

No one has checked the Moderating task. I can't see it as beingtoo much
work here. Just approving new members when they show up and keeping heads
cool. Presently, I've not denied anyone membership. We just want to make
sure there are no sock puppets (duplicate members) and other such cheating.

I recently had another thought. I could probably use some help collecting
nominations. But then I do have these Obsessive Compulsive tendencies. I'll
probably want to put everything into an Excel spreadsheet so they can be
organized by category and then title. ;-)

sorry, I thought I offered earlier and didn't get assigned yet. I'm
not good at picking a job, just let me know where you need me.

Sorry if I missed you. My memory does tend to get a bit flaky. Well, do
you think you might be any good at sniffing out sock puppets? That is the
same person sighing up 2 or more YahooID's. If so, I can add you as a
Moderator.

Otherwise, we'll just put you down for Vote Counting and backup-categorizer.
How does that sound?

Ah, I try to only buy the ones that are non-drowsy. The drowsy ones make me
loopy.

Sure! If you go buy one, I won't keep you from wearing it. ;-)

Welcome, co-Moderator!

Ummm. How about Very Useful Answerer of Questions? Sounds like rather a
literary title to me! (But then we've been reading Oz and Narnia books lately)

I timidly raise my hand to volunteer, knowing that my schedule is subject to
imploding without notice.

Thanks,
Lin
