It looks like Brion is moving on to another company, soon. He's announced it on his blog amongst other places. While I wish him well - he's one of the good guys (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif) - I have to wonder what this is going to do for Flagged Revisions and some of the other important software updates. Knowing geeks as I do, he'll probably still work voluntarily on the sidelines - I know I would.

Anyways - I guess Jimmy's going to be hiring programmers and CTOs again soon (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/fear.gif)

...and Brion, just to rub it in, after Erik whines about pressures, conflicts, lack of sympathy for the poor souls who are so stressed that they can barely find time to trampoline, and even Jimbo chimes in with some hopeless hand-wringing to boot

switches on flagged revisions on the test site.

Yeah, right.

And I'm an admin.
