SoylentNews is people

A Resignation

from the not-kim-jung-un dept.

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.

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

    Thanks for your words of confidence. I know I'm stepping into some huge shoes, and my TODO list is large enough to crush small children. I step into this role knowing that at some point I will step out, and that others will have to take my place.

    As for matters of succession, and my eventual replacement, I hope to have a formal bylaw drafted on this for when I get the not-for-profit established.

    Sounds good. I'm sure you'll let us know how it goes.

    May the Farce be with you!

    What is in that ToDo list that contributors can help with?
