i'm not dead yet

[Max Spevack]

My head is down, and I'm working on a bunch of post-FUDCon, budget, 6-12 
month planning stuff with Greg and our boss this week... FWN is still 
very much on my mind though, and it is not forgotten.

I have had a couple of emails from beat writers looking to step up, and 
maybe start to assume some of the "editor" duties of FWN.  I would be 
*thrilled* to see that transition "just happen", and have someone swoop 
in here and help get a FWN out the door, and then figure out a schedule 
to re-base us on that allows their particular vision to be implemented.

I could then see my role as one of helping to move things forward on the 
wordpress multi-user front, and the infrastructure improvements that 
will make FWN more sustainable long-term.

But if someone is ready to jump in and take some leadership, consider 
this your "blessing" from me!  :)

I can't say enough how much I appreciate the hard work of this entire 
team.  It's been a challenging couple of weeks for FWN, but I think 
we're moving along well.

Critical path:

1) new editor in chief, someone to handle the content

2) go through our beat writer roster and figure out if some of the 
people who have been MIA are coming back, or if we really need to step 
up our recruitment

3) infrastructure changes for a more scalable content process in the 
future.

that's all i have for the moment...
