Dave, don't bother. I did it, and I emailed Rene, telling him that I had done
it, that it would be changed back in a few days, and to let me know if he had
any problem with it. Apparently that email didn't get to you.

Nope, I was out of the loop on that one, and if I had been in it I probably
would've voiced my opinion that it shouldn't happen. I am glad to hear that you
talked to Rene about it beforehand, though.

Have you been given authority to "fix" Lugnet content without say so from
Rene or Jerry? If so, maybe you should add your email to the lugnet.admin
sidebar.

I was granted access to change curator sidebars some time ago, before the
changeover happened. So, no, not by Rene and Jerry explicitly. And if they'd
like to remove me from the list, that's fine, or if they want to keep me on the
list but require their authorization before actually *doing* anything, that's
their call too. I'd be perfectly willing to remove myself from the list if they
wish.

For the most part, I've got the *ability* but not the *authority* to change
things on Lugnet, and I've always talked to Rene and/or Jerry before making any
changes. Certainly if I was trying to change the set guide pages or make a new
group or something I'd get express permission first. But in the case of sidebar
content, it's a bit fuzzier. Curators can make changes to their own areas
more-or-less at their leisure, without approval from the admins. If they want
to, they can make whatever sidebar content they want. So I figured this would be
well within bounds.

My biggest concern was that this was hacked. I wouldn't put it out of the realm
of possibility to see someone intentionally hacking a site in order to make fun
of or insult Eric-- and I really didn't want it to appear as though Lugnet as an
entity was attempting to make a personal statement about him.

If Rene's fine with it, I'll certainly go ahead and just be quiet about it-- and
I certainly won't change it again without discussion-- but I do disagree with
the action.

Hi all and sundry :-)

ROSCO: Probably your email made it into my spam folder, sorry! I haven't read
such an email and therefore don't know what happened, and whether I would have
endorsed it beforehand or not. Well, seems that we all survived unscathed...

Dave: It's definitely fine by me having you with global curatorship privileges,
same with Dan. I trust you enough to take responsibility for it. I have revised
the whole list of curators some time ago and it should be relatively up-to-date.

As for Todd and Suz still being on that list: I haven't heard from them for some
time past and since I have a feeling that the changeover isn't completed
(trademark issues + some unspecified limitations and wishes Suz mentioned
earlier) I better do not blocking Todd and Suz out from their site.

So for reference:

Jerry: Admin for technical issues (and he's doing good, even answering the phone
in the middle of the night on weekends :-). Responsible for Hardware, Server
Config, NNTP and Perl issues

Me: Admin for organizational things, structure & design. HTML, CSS, PHP.

Dan & Dave: Able to do s.th., helped a lot in the past (Thanks!!) but no one has
to force them to do something specific.

Todd & Suz: Still able to do anything just like before the change, but both
officially retired.

Hope that lightened things a little bit,

Leg Godt!
Rene

PS: I read about the "Traffic" Link on the homepage, will add this later this
week!
