fyi to DR/ R & anyone else questioning YF credentials as mod, wrt SE valued metrics: he has (substantial/ respectable) 33 score. rep is a significant part of the weight. dont know exactly how it ("capped rep") is calculated. compare to (other current sole volunteer/ nominee/ candidate) DW at 35. any more sniping over his credentials, might starting looking up/ posting more ppls.

@GraceNote I guess n weeks without moderators should raise sufficient interest.

@GraceNote Should I execute the Bulletin restructuring as we discussed?

@Raphael I think you've done an excellent job, as has Gilles. I hope both of you are willing to continue :-)

@D.W. I think you would be an outstanding addition to the mod team, too! Good luck :-)

@Juho Thank you!

@Juho What about you, still writing your nomination? ;)

@Raphael Haha, I don't know... haven't at least seriously considered it :-)

@Raphael Go on ahead

@Juho I think you should!

@Raphael Thanks! I guess I have a few days to think about it still too

@Juho Yup, a few.

@GraceNote Done. Seems the Bulletin is cached, though.

It'll update soon enough

@Raphael There's room for two meta posts. I added back the question collection. That's important too. This way we have one aimed at potential candidates, and one aimed at all voters.

@Gilles I thought a) to link everything important from that one post (better title, maybe?) and b) have only one post to focus attention.

@Raphael but someone who has no interest in being a moderator won't even click on “Nominate yourself for the upcoming moderator elections”, we still need to let them know how they can voice their concerns

@Gilles True, hence: better title?

@Raphael I think the title if fine, since the whole point of that question is to inform people they have until next Monday to declare their candidacy

@Juho -- I'll chime in to add my encouragement as well: if you've any interest, I hope you'll nominate yourself. I think you'd be a great moderator.
