<br>
I've decided to step down as chair of webcom. My original intention was to<br>
rebuild the site with full multilingual capabilities using Drupal 8. This<br>
is not an especially difficult task, but it is too big to take on in<br>
voluntary time (to do it right) and I've had to focus on paid work for<br>
family reasons.<br>
<br>
Webcom is currently a bit more active than it has been in recent years with<br>
a few more recent users now having admin access to the site. Most of the<br>
board and project leads also have editor access. I've also listed a few<br>
long term members on the webcom page [1] who have admin access and could<br>
always step in to give other users more access.<br>
<br>
I will continue to respond to direct emails for help (and monitor the<br>
webcom list when I can).<br>
<br>
Ian<br>
