h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

h2g2 volunteers perform all the day-to-day editorial, technical, and administrative tasks that keep our site running. Through the combined, coordinated efforts of many h2g2 volunteers, h2g2 is moving steadily toward its long term goals.

Volunteers on all projects come and go, and we have quite a few changes to announce.

Lanzababy is taking some time off from volunteering. Lanza wasn’t just the Chief Guide Editor, she oversaw all those areas of the site that came under the Guide umbrella, as well as being my sounding board and interim FRL Vice Chair. Many thanks, Lanza, for your vision and all your hard work.

Additionally, Gnomon has resigned his position as a Guide Editor. Thank you, Gnomon, for your past efforts as a Guide Editor, and for present work as a Curator and Sub-Editor.

Dmitri Gheorgheni will step into Lanzababy's Chief Guide Editor role while she's away from us. Dimitri will be over-seeing all the Guide aspects.

Galaxy Babe and h5ringer are promoted from Deputy Guide Editors, and are now full blown Guide Editors. Congratulations! Galaxy Babe, h5ringer, and Dmitri will share the editorial workload.

Solnushka will liaise between the Creationeers and Dmitri as Chief Guide Editor, so that we can keep the successful and popular Create initiative running.

Geggs will soon take over the whole QOTD process - once we get the technical details sorted.

This situation has also highlighted an unbalance of work the Community Artists. We’ve worked with Tavaron to redistribute the workload within the Community Artists. BlueBottle, already a Curator, now has full control over uploading image files. Rosie will liaise with the Guide Editors and encourage writers to submit photos for their entries. Dr Anthea will be working with the Community Eds to get more community involvement in producing images for older entries.

Additionally, Dmitri has recruited more help for The Post: Magwitch and Asteroid Lil have joined Beatrice as Post Team volunteers! Thanks for stepping up to new tasks!

A hearty “Congratulations” to those who have, in effect, been promoted. And thank you to all volunteers for making h2g2 the Internet's best destination.

Well done, retirees, for your efforts.
Congratulations to the team as it now stands



THANK YOU, all of you

Maybe I missed something or I'm just forgetful... what is "FRL"?

FRL stands for Field Researchers, Limited, the company started by community members to hold approx 1/3 of the shares of NPL, Not Panicking Limited, who own and run h2g2 since we left BBC.

Thanks. I did know that but had forgotten.

That announcement - I never get the links right, so it's better if you find it. It hangs off this page too.

MEGA thanks and appreciation on both fronts
those leaving, those having a rest and (on err 3 fronts) those receiving promotion and (on err err 4 fronts) those just joining


bloody weather! there's fronts all over the place

The volunteers are to my Front
The volunteers are to my flank
The volunteers are to my rear



I have them right where I want them!


Many thanks to those who are leaving, joining, and moving around

Now I'm hearing 'The lunatic is in my head...'

I knowannouncements, but it's for Dmitri

I'm ashamed to say much of all this hard work has passed me buy, so thank you to all past and present. I see a lot of names I know on mentioned, people who have always been around for as long as I've been here, which is good to see as the guide moves forward.

I'm feeling really guilty now...

..and grateful!

~jwf~

Oo - am I officially a Curator now, then? I just thought I was 'Bloke who does stuff with photos'.

<BB<

I thought you were a Curator already?

He was - he just didn't know it yet

You're a currator and you don't- oh bugger that doesn't work.

Congrats to all the givers, from one of the takers.

Congratulations to the Volunteers.

You guys... this makes me so happy, so many kind words!
