Hey Boss. So a couple things from your time away make me wonder if it's time to consider regular admin elections.

First, when you were away that left me the one admin around frequently. Not that we had any major problems, but I began to understand more how you felt late last year; hoping I wouldn't be needed during a day away or whatever.

Second, someone asked about becoming an admin. I said in short we weren't actively looking for more at the moment, but I felt kind of bad just shutting them down like that. I mean, putting aside any particular strengths or weaknesses there are quite a few people around here who have been active around here as much and as long as I was when I became an admin. That maybe they don't get a shot until we really feel shorthanded due to the chance of timing seems not the best.

So I was thinking instead of waiting until those indeterminate times we could have some regularly scheduled admin application/election a few times a year. It would make sense if they often ended with 0 new admins--there's not always a need for more or a decent choice very interested--but it would give people a known time and process to give it a try if they wished.

There's a bit more I could say on the subject, but I don't want to overload this starting message TOO much.
