Hi all,

Due to the Willy stepping down as site admin, my deployment in March, and my
plans to update the website CMS, all LDraw.org contests are suspended.  This
will last until we move the site to the new CMS (at least October, probably more
like December).

Is there any organizational mechanism (for instance, via the steering committee)
to appoint or elect new people to your roles, rather than to suspend activity?

Of course, I recognize the CMS plans might make succession impractical at
present, but eventually it seems like it will be necessary to address.

Basically, I have control of the website and bring in people as needed.  The
problem is that our voting module is a little bit incompatible with the current
version of our CMS making life difficult for the admin.  Since Tim hasn't been
trained on how to handle these problems and the lack of time I have to train
him, I think it's better to suspend the contests until I can get the new system
up and running.  I will be moving to a new CMS but I have to develop a new
module for the new CMS.  I have a lot of time while underway to work on this so
it may happen before the above time frame.  I quoted the above as a worst case
scenario.
