I'm getting somewhat tired of asking this. Who is moderating at the
moment? Should I assume that everyone has quit?

Depends what you mean by 'available'. I keep adding an removing people
from it, but it seems to be hard to get anyone to moderate in real
time, or even daily for any length of time.

If you need another moderator, I'm available.

Thanks Guillaume.

It's not so much about having another one, but one with the time,
energy and patience to do the job regularly, consistently and
reliably.

IIRC we added a new moderator last week or the other one. Who was he?

...and I don't think adding more people will help.

It's a pretty thankless job.  I am a moderator for pgsql-rrreviewers
and the only thing I ever do is reject spam.  It could be set to
auto-reject and we'd be no worse off - at least so far.

We're talking about the website - news, events, doc comments etc. Far
less spam there, more work checking that doc comments are correct, and
the news articles submitted meet the publication policy etc.

You are right. I have been added but I still have to properly look at 
the information. PGDay.IT is tomorrow and I am busy with it at the 
moment, but I will definitely help after that. I take my part of 
responsibilities on this now.

Thanks,
Gabriele

Yes, it was me :(

But I need to read the stuff first so that I can understand how to 
moderate stuff.

I'm not caught up from the holiday and japan yet on my business stuff.
I'd kind of assumed that our European moderators, for whom last week was
not a holiday, were taking care of things.

Of course, if we had some tracking of who approved/rejected what, we
could see who was actually doing moderation work.  Although that work is
probably better put into a new www.  I think as long as the moderation
system is extremely hackish and hard to use, people will have to live
with falling behind; I'm not about to approve stuff when I don't have
time to check it and make sure it's right and meets our policies.
