When Gotwig and I created the team, everything went fine, no problems at
all. People came to us and we just told them how to create a team and what
not. A month later and there were lots of teams already. The only kind of
"maintenace" Gotwig and I had to do were resolve some minor issues that the
team leaders asked us about such as doubts about Rosetta or the elementary
project itself.

Later on, one or two teams started becoming very inactive, which isn't a
problem of course, we can't expect people to work night and day on a
non-profit project. The real problem is, though, that the administrators of
the teams became inactive and nobody else could contribute. From that
moment on, what Gotwig and I decided to do was to put one of us as members
(administrators, actually) of teams and ensure there were more than two
administrators per team. However, we didn't really take action on many
teams, just a couple of ones, and since then I haven't heard of any
problems whatsoever. Note, though, that I, too, was inactive for the past
week or so.
