i also know that you're depending on other people to plan out some of the regional gatherings and that's cool, but some people just aren't capable of the responsibility. And I definitely wouldn't wait until it's too late to realize that, or it can affect the site as a whole, and Justin and Tim whose names are very much attached to the site.
I have a great example. I run poorformance.net and my name is all over it. I had a lot of demand for bumper stickers and t-shirts. So one of the members of the site volunteered to spearhead the t-shirts and another volunteered to do the bumper stickers. Both things became giant nightmares, and in the case of the t-shirts it was pushing a year until it was resolved fully, and in the case of the bumper stickers, no bumper stickers were every produced, and something like $50 magically disappeared at my expense and the expense of a few board members. Obviously both things reflected badly on the site and me, even though the only involvement I had at all was to put trust in someone else. again, just food for thought.
I really want to see this site take off. It really seems like there are a number of people here who really believe in the idea and care that it happens and I really respect that.
