Hi, I have two concerns with the current positions in ReactOS:
1. what is the situation with Release Engineers currently? For the last few releases, Colin was de-facto the only one doing all release- related work. Wiki page states Z98 as a release engineer. Z98 - are you still available for this position, or should we try to get someone else to help Colin?
2. Klemens Friedl unfortunately has not been available for quite a long time, really long time. He informed me about it, so it's fine, and sometime in future he is going to get back to ReactOS hopefully. But, as of now, I think he can't hold the Web Coordinator position. Should we move this to someone else who is active now, like Colin or Danny if they have time?
Opinions are appreciated.
WBR, Aleksey Bragin.

Z98 and me divided the Release Engineering work into caring about the Changelog (Z98) and branching/packaging the releases (me) long time ago. And looking at who created the initial changelogs in the past and hounded devs about getting their changes in, I don't think that this situation has changed.
Nevertheless, if there is another person willing to help with branching/packaging, I would gladly coach him a bit on this. Although I like the job, I don't want the release to depend exclusively on me, especially because I'll probably have less time for it in the future. Even though most of the process is described at http://www.reactos.org/wiki/ReactOS_Release_Engineer, there may still be some open questions.

I feel that I have enough official and inofficial jobs to care about in the project, so I certainly won't have time to take over the Website Coordinator position as well. If Danny is okay with it, I would gladly suggest him for the position.
I also want to underline that I stand behind his recent actions concerning the Wiki, since they were based on rules we both decided on when Wiki cleanup began over a year ago. Anyway, if people request it, we may still change the rules about what content goes into the Wiki and what content does not.
Best regards,
Colin

I'd be ok with it, but I may not have much time until mid of march and no idea how much afterwards. Prefereable a second person should back me up.
