Yes, I agree; I've found tons of bad/stale documentation in our wiki -- I just
don't know enough to fix it all (but I help where I can).

Well, I know enough about SMGL to hack my own box to make nearly everything 
work
the way I want, and maintain spells (net section) which don't require major
hacking to work.

I guess what I'm getting at is that for general web maintenance and
Drupal/MoinMoin stuff, I'm your man (and I have references, both people and
URLs).  I believe I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew when I
volunteered to be the net maintainer, but no one's complained, so I continue 
to
do what I can as best as I can.  But I thought I saw an opportunity where my
skills would best be utilized for our community.

But for maintaining technical documentation about SMGL, I lack the high-level
knowledge that you, Arwed and others have.  I do what I can, as I believe I
write excellent documentation when I have the right information.  So if Tome 
is
centered mostly on technical documentation, then I'll remain just a Tome 
member
and help where I can.

But at the very least, if ever there is a time when hard-core web development,
Drupal and MoinMoin expertise is needed, I'm just an e-mail away :).  Whether 
as
the net section maintainer, or just a Tome member who peruses the Wiki looking
for errors, I intend to give back to the community -- one way or another.

Oh, and for the record, I wasn't thinking that I'd ever be nominated for a 
Lead
role; I don't think I've yet earned the respect and popularity of the 
community
for such a high role.  I was only curious, and you've settled my curiosity...
