We also need to set up a Forum for moderators. Two purposes: One, so the requests for being a moderator can be added to the Forum instead of private email to the administrator. Two, so moderators can begin communicating with each other to share ideas and successful stories about their moderator activities. We might choose to set up a thread within one of the Wiki Forums we already have, but I'd prefer to have a separate Forum. Any other ideas? --[[User:JensenFA|Fran]] 17:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

The two email links for people to contact if they would like to become a moderator are broken. Who do people contact now if they want to become a Moderator?  I see the suggestion above for a forum to be created for this purpose - with the changes, who now has the responsibility to assign moderation rights?

And I agree with the above, a section showing where we still need moderators would be great.

Regarding the second purpose of setting up a forum, encouraging communication with each other, now that we have a "Contributor's Corner" in the Forum, maybe moderators can start discussing topics there? Maybe they can just begin using that and then depending on the amount of traffic we could see if they needed separate categories or sub-forums from there. --[[User:VasquezJL|VasquezJL]] 14:42, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
