No pun intended. Indeed :-)


Please forgive me this question but what is meant with "Curator"?

Basically, a group's curator is a volunteer LUGNET member who keeps up with a
list of links for the group.

He/she has edit-permissions to a 'sidebar' of information on the newsgroup's
homepage. They also can create underlying pages of information. But that's it.

Because of their ability to influence a new visitor's first impression of a
group (sidebars can display images or even polls), I think of them as
'welcomers.'

Some kind of co-admin or sub-admin just for the .castle group?

No.

As far as I know, we've had only excellent results.
But I can understand a potential for concern.

I think it's key to point out that curators are editors of the side bar
and other pages related to a group. They are not moderators of the
group, though their opinions may be given more weight (but then only
because they have earned respect for the work they do - there's nothing
wrong with some peoples opinions being held higher than others so long
as the greater respect is earned).
