I don't know if you saw my mail explaining that all the delay is due to me.

The whole point of this exercise is to ensure that newbie sysadmins
get to administer the site (unlike people like you and me).

Let Radha do this. Ketan has recently sent her instructions on how to
log on to the box. Since tomorrow is a weekend, I intend to call Radha
and stand by for assistance while she sets up everything.

Let's have the volunteers do these sysadmin tasks at their pace. There
is no rush with this, as has been pointed out to me by several others
on this list recently.

The delay (talking to people to get them to generate SSH keys,
verifying the keys and passing them on to Ketan, asking Ketan to send
out information) in any case is because of me.
