Needed: new GNU volunteer coordinators

The FSF is looking for one or two additional people to help out with
coordinating the volunteers working on GNU software and documentation.

The volunteer coordinator job involves reading and handling messages
from people offering to help out, sending them information such as the
coding standards or the task list, recording what they want to work on
and their progress, putting people in touch with others who are
working on related tasks, and telling other people in the GNU project
when a completed package is available. 

We hope to have three coordinators, who would divide up the job, each
spending two or three hours per week.  It is important for 
coordinators to stick to the job in a responsible way for a long time;
it causes problems when they come and go.

If you are interested in volunteering to be a coordinator, please send
email to coordinators@gnu.org.
