So, no moderation of the messages themselves...not content cops (unless
advising folks to move a thread to a more appropriate NG, I assume...but
EVERYONE already does THAT). Just taking some of the pressure off Suzanne
and Todd for the daily doldrums...FAQs and the like. And possibly to add a
bit more administrative "zing", a more active looking involvement by
spreading the work around.
The most important part of the announcement: "...but curators shouldn't be
defined as "leaders of" or "experts in" their areas."
HTH,
Matt
