Its pretty amazing. Actually between the 3 major moderators they have 19% so that means that everyone has posted about 9 messages on average so far which is really good!

Congratulations guys,
Depending on what happens to me in the next months, as I'm really interested in developping applications with wxwidgets, perhaps you will count a fourth moderator in your team!!
Good continuation

Yes, true, actually I meant that you would have another active moderator. That is the reason why I don't ask for this right now, cause I am not sure I would be really active as a moderator should be for the moment, even if I have already posted more than the inactive moderators...

Well there isn't much to being a moderator .. The pay is lausy
Just kidding ofcourse, but things that we do are:
- Put [ code ] tags around other ppl's posts with code examples for readability
- Monitor the wx-users list as well, and once in a while tell people not to x-post
- Monitor the language people use. We had one issue here with verbal language and one political issue, but mostly people are very kind
- Move around posts which are in the wrong forum
- Split posts if people go ask stuff when somebody else is announcing something, the chance other people will react to that is low, so a split of the post is making the post more visible
- Merge similar posts
That's about it .. nobody is expected to do much, but if we all do a bit it can make a difference. There is no designated forum for a person to watch, we all watch all forums

Actually, if I become moderator, I will mostly do like upCASE, I mean giving people solutions to their problems. But for the moment, I don't think I know enough about wxWidgets to become moderator, since I won't be able to answer 9/10 of the posts...

Well GianT, if you are worried that you need to be a skilled wx C++ developer to also be a moderator, that has nothing to do with it. It is more common sense and the conmfidence of what you do is right. That sometimes means people must be told not to x-post, or posts must be moved around ..
