Actually, Nora reads the Wiki every week or so (and sometimes more often) 
to try to figure out what is going on there.  But she is not comfortable 
with contributing, probably mostly from unfamiliarity with the tools.

I admit that I have been less involved this year than any prior year, in 
part BECAUSE so much "unofficial" is going on that I don't feel competent 
to get involved in.  You know more than most that I've been dealing with a 
sick machine and a sicker ISP, both of which finally seem to be resolved.

Maybe because all the tasks that I know need to be done take more than, 
say, 40 hours of work.  Maybe not all in one week, but over a period of 
time.  The easy jobs that take an hour or two, people crop and DO them 
without my asking.  Sometimes they do the ones that take an intense weekend 
on their own.

But the jobs I'm stuck with are the long haul jobs that take a little time 
every so often over the long term (and to delegate it to someone else I 
need to know that person will stick with it to do it over the long term as 
needed, as you have done far better than I have with the web site), and the 
REALLY big jobs like the dictionary.
