The response to my call for moderators was overwhelmingly good. Everyone seems to share a common goal and vision for the site, and I think I'm not alone in wishing that this resource existed years ago as more and more pioneering folks pulled up their roots and planted them in new countries.
This was tough, because every single person that nominated would have done a fantastic job, but initially, we're going to go with a team of three. Without further adieu, please welcome your new moderation team:
Did I overlook anyone? Almost certainly - the number of users demonstrating the right blend of experience, patience and topic knowledge was extremely high - almost everyone actively participating would probably make a good moderator. That's why we hold democratic moderator elections shortly after a site graduates.
Until then, I'm confident that we'll be in good hands with the folks above. Please give them a warm welcome, and remember - this is a learning experience for everyone.
