Jen,

I understand the goal of helping LinuxChix learn system administration
through administering the LC servers.  However, I think that this may
not be the best time for a learning experience.  I am concerned that
if the web site upgrade takes too long (at this point I am estimating
1 year, start to finish), we'll lose our momentum.  Trying to schedule
a shared screen session looks like it will add a lot of overhead and
delay.

Could we instead do some kind of sysadmin internship program?  Get
people interested in learning sysadmin work in contact with the
sysadmins and start coordinating over IRC, perhaps?
