Re: slight role change

 

Thanks for understanding, and your right, it's not exactly a huge change. When I talk about being the Administrator, I strictly mean server side stuff. I think Israel is competent to take over the website - he gave me some advice awhile back that strongly indicated so - which would make him website administrator. If you are okay with Israel taking over, I will give him FTP access, realistically that's all that is needed. Myself as server administrator, basically I would enable any advanced feature along the way if they are needed. I would also add email addresses. Giving access to the server admin tools is dangerous - which is why I will be administrator on that side. Also, I may host a personal domain in the future. Don't worry though, hosting another domain\website under the same account will have zero impact on the ToriOS.

Hello group,

Hi,


I have decided that I will be slightly reducing my role in the ToriOS project. It's nothing personal, more along the lines of time constraints regarding things I already had going on before I started this project - among other things.

My role will be reduced to hosting the domain and performing administrative tasks when needed. Realistically, that's not much a change from what I was already doing. Speaking of the domain, there should be no more problems like we have recently seen.

There is not much of a change if you ask me but that is a wise decision considering the overload you put on your shoulders few weeks back :) I hope you'll feel better and I hope this decision will make life easier for you!


If someone wants to take over, I know there are some web design savvy folk in the group who can take over that end (Israel for one) - I could tell some people were not happy with my design anyway : )

I do need an access to the website. I do hope it has WordPress because that would be easier and less time to learn but I know we had that discussion before. All in all, kindly provide me with access as I am not happy with the current home page and would like to change it (add some stuff).


If someone can be elected to take over the task I can give them FTP access. I believe smile4ever already has FTP access for the wiki. If you want to use something like Wordpress or Joomla, just let me know and I will install it from the administrative control panel.

I will send an email soon about the recent changes ;)
While the website is very important, there are other stuff that is far more important than the website. We do need a system to show to the whole world :)

But yes, that should not stop us from finding someone but what exactly are you asking for? elect who exactly? I mean what kind of role are we talking about?

Do you mean we need a Website Admin while you take care of the Technical side only?



Ali already has administrative privileges over the forum so you should be good there.

Forum is less important at this stage but yes, I do and you too. Maybe if someone step in as the lead of technical support, he/she could also have access.


I'm not completely leaving the project, just refining my place in it. As administrator I will always be prompt with any related requests.

Glad you're still around ;)

William


Thank you for everything!

P.S.
Kindly check the email I sent you regarding Phill :)
