All of the duties of the administrators team are about, and only about the website itself, eglug.org
I propose we change the title of this team from `Administrators' to `Website Adminstrators'.
What do you think folks ?

I object, Because you'll
I object, Because you'll also be managing the server if eglug gets one.
Objections without constructive solutions...
Are worthless.
Call them technical administrators.

What's wrong with "EGLUG
What's wrong with "EGLUG admin." ??
It's not that I want to
It's not that I want to list all the administrators duties in the team name, it's about minimizing the confussion that people get about the rule of the administrators team because of the too general name, `Administrators'. It's about choosing a name that is more close to their area of responsibility in EGLUG, that is, eglug.org the website.
Our rules make it clear what are their duties, but choosing a better name for adminstrators will be a positive step in making things even more clear IMHO.
call him `` the One''.
call him the site administrator or web administrator or the site maintainer or the help desk and it support
call it what ever you want,this will not change the duties of this particular person.
namely users and content management systems call it admin ,what do you think should we call it the root .making no sense ha

bleh. So what are you
bleh.
So what are you trying to say ? I say that their duties are clear in rules, but changing the team name will make things even more clear. What this have to do with CMS and changing their duties ? I don't get you.
`EGLUG Administrators', It doesn't really say that they are only responsible for the technical issues around eglug.org. It says they are the administrators of the Egyptian Linux User Group. I just find it a little confussing. It's all about clarity.
And I, for one, think that choosing a better name is something worth doing.
Anyway, I agree with alaa it is not the best timing, after the elections may be.
Titles, Titles
I don`t know why u acre much, about the name of admins , we ( EGlug members) know what they do ,
so it not big deal
I Was Known as POSIX
but new members might not,
but new members might not, it is a good idea IMO.

Not about titles
I don't think it's about Titles. I suggest the previous admins team should create a wiki list of tasks as a step in handover process. New admins team should divide these tasks upon them and make it clear on the site. This'll prevent the current case where only 1 or 2 admins are overloaded with much tasks.
not a bad idea but I guess
not a bad idea but I guess this is not the time to change the wording, let's do that after elections.
as for listing all their tasks I guess this would depend on the admin team itself, nothing says it has to be done in a specific way.
the task is to have a well maintained and running eglug.org website and to respond quickly to feedback from the community, and looking for interesting features and improvements to test and implement if they seem to be useful for our community.
apart from that mundane stuff like backups, security, making sure the website is up, creating mailboxes, monitoring performance, finding good hosting, figuring out how to pay for hosting, etc.
to help the new team a bit we have asked the larger FOSS community for help, basically seeking free hosting.
the new admin team can start slow and then decide wether they want to continue this way or wether they want to move somewhere else.
more announcements about that when we have clear offers.
