This is more of a future discussion I wish to have with Dinkleberg, but I have a few ideas about how to make more frequent updates a possibility. For example, Dink and I may be able to find ways to make it easier for admins to contact him and have his support.

Just want to reiterate this point and preface it by saying I'm not dissing dink, he has his reasons. It's just a reality. I've been down this road many times as both TTT and Web Admin (as have many others with the communication part), it always falls flat. So I personally wouldn't invest too much time into that aspect of trying to make it easier, it'll likely end in disappointment and a loss of time you can better spend elsewhere. It's just become a norm and accepted practice of how that communication works. I do appreciate the optimism and initiative, so you're welcome to try. It's just one of the realities around here that I think applicants should be aware of, you can't expect too much. You also have to be able to do things independently, put in a lot of work for getting your ideas implemented, and be persistent. It'll take time to get stuff implemented sometimes. I learned that as TTT Admin too. This may seem like a grim take but it's just years of observations as admin. Just don't want you going into it expecting all of these things to happen when they might not, or at least right away (learn toward the first part).   

I do appreciate you stepping up to fill the big void left by the bread guy and the hamster, best of luck. I think you would make a good admin if you feel ready
