It may be simpler for me to write this because I can't be a candidate :-)
I think we should have a full time english-wiki sysop.
Full time don't mean he will spend all his time on the wiki, but that the wiki will be his first concern. and sysop mean he will have to make strategic changes, organisation ones, not than he should have to write the wiki himself, of course.

shows that several people share the front page update. this is probably not the better way for consistency and we know they have also very sharp work do do on the distribution itself.
I don't care if the sysop is Novell or voluntary, but I would like to know his name.
I think also than it's his responsability, aftyer all kinds of discussions, to make the necessary changes. specially on the blocked pages, he is the only who can do it.
we are simply not enough, here, to speak of democracy or votes. We don't represent anybody than ourselves.
of course, Novell can (must) keep the css control.
the main point is than we need a referee :-). On my concern, it's better to have a consistent layout, even if I don't like it (and why should I don't like it :-), than as many layouts as pages...

I think it is the only way to have one for 24*7 support ...
But I would be happy to grant someone sysop rights, who is trustable and can invest more time as we are able to spend atm.
Do you suggest someone or a list of candidates ? (since you do not want it, it seems ;)
