- I don't get too involved in this, through technical ignorance, but I understand the urgent needs include work over the next fundraiser, for which I suspect 1 day per wk is probably not enough. If we get can someone flexible enough to increase workload to accomodate this then this could be a way forward imo. Johnbod (talk) 19:05, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
