> 1. My profession is fixing bugs in software... So, I could help with programming or other technical computer tasks.
Well, two things come to mind. First would be just helping out people here who have trouble with the site. And I guess related to that would be coming up with ways to make the site easier to use.
Second, it was a summer project of mine last year to move from flat files to a MySQL database... Do you have any experience with MySQL? And Perl? There are packages out there that could be a starting point...
> 2. I have management experience. I could help by organizing discussions around particular issues - with a goal of coming to a conclusion and a plan.

That would be great, too. Discussions here aren't always very organized... Maybe just jump in when something gets going and try to keep us moving forward?

> Is there anything relevant to creative writing? I didn't see that on the list...
Hmm, well, there's the FAQ, I don't know if you'd be interested in revising or adding to that...
Or, it would be a bigger project, and maybe not something for one poster, but along the lines of a couple of Phil's recent posts, what about an introduction to PB from the poster perspective? Orientation, advice, etc.?
Hey, maybe you could do some of the writing and Falls could oversee the project?
> What exactly do you mean by civility monitoring? If you mean reading posts and emailing Bob ones that are uncivil, I could try that.... Is that what you're suggesting?

That does help, but it can take me some time to get to email, so even better is for someone to step in as a deputy administrator right then:

Like Dinah's been doing...
Thanks for these offers, I really appreciate it. But do feel free to change your mind, I don't want this to be a burden for anyone.
