A Resignation

I can no longer sustain the level of activity needed to run SoylentNews, and so I have resigned as leader.

In the end, I was literally begging people to step back and let the site "just run" for a few days while I caught up... alas, to no effect. Issues must be resolved "right here and right now" continuously throughout my day with no end in sight.

NCommander has taken over as project lead - he has access to everything from the registrar down. I understand he has a different vision for the project, which will soon be revealed.

I'm sorry to leave like this, but there's really nothing for it. I'm going back to my AI studies, which happen at a more leisurely pace.

John Barrabas

(And yes, this was an amicable transfer of power. There's no hard feelings on my side.)

    Good point.

    In the beginning I was proposing to use a tracker for project-level issues; although more paperwork would be needed to get stuff done, the benefit is that as a project manager one can set priorities, group them by their dependencies and milestones and have a better peace of mind at tracking the status of them.

    Any tool can be abused, but without tools like this - this is what you get!
    I am really sorry to see Barrabas go, I hope he will join back in due time
