Have been already contributing content at linuxchix.org.in, so count
me in for content editing. I raised a query if with the new direction
here on we wanted to continue mediawiki, choose a CMS or some other
alternative. Also have not heard from Barkha/ Aneesha/ Ankita/
Archana/ Runa. This is concerning as they all are good contributors to
LC-IN.

Great! Will wait for your email to the list

+1 to the formation of volunteer team but as your original email cited
there are going to specific tasks - administration, design, list
management, content editing. So perhaps when we volunteer we specify
interest area.
