I'd like to approve Erik, Magnus, and Tarquin for server access, if
that is something they'd like to do, and if that's something that we
think would be useful.
There are probably others who I've overlooked, but if lack of people
with direct server access is a bottleneck, we should do something
about that.
In general, even developers don't really need direct server access.
As long as we have enough people to update the live site from CVS at
appropriate times, and enough people to give the machines a kick in
the pants when needed...
Direct server access is a matter of great trust, not just in terms of
character, either. Lots and lots of people have excellent character
and I would trust them on those grounds with server access. But there
is a 'technical' component to it, i.e. knowing how to get around in
Unix without breaking anything.
And I guess there's a personality component, since the server setup
isn't like a wiki where lots of people should be on there willy-nilly
reconfiguring things. :-)
But it seems like this is sort of a bottleneck, and the solution is
pretty simple.
