>This is the announcement you've all been waiting for. :-)
>
>Our "cluster team" is ready to accept requests from volunteers who
>would like to help administer the new Surname Resource Clusters. To
>volunteer yourself, use the form on this Web page:
>
>http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/sponsors.html
>
>Important notes!
>
> * You *must* use this page to submit a request to administer the
> cluster lists. No exceptions! We are anticipating hundreds or
> thousands of requests. There's no way we could process them all
> by hand; using the form is the only feasible way for us to take
> requests.
>
> * Use this page *only* to volunteer for the new lists that were
> created in the Surname Resource Clusters. If you want to create a
> new list that doesn't yet exist, do it the old-fashioned way:
> http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/contributors/listrequest.html.
>
> * Do *not* e-mail list requests to the staff. Any e-mailed requests
> will be ignored. If you e-mailed a staff member to volunteer for
> a cluster list any time in the last few weeks, it didn't count; go
> to the form and submit the request there.
>
> I'm sorry that we don't have any way for e-mail-only users to
> volunteer. Inquire around at your local libraries, universities,
> etc. to find out if you can borrow the use of a Web-equipped
> computer for a few minutes.
>
> * It's going to take quite a while to sort out all of the requests,
> all the more so because a couple of staffers are going to take
> some *very* badly needed vacation days in the upcoming weeks. You
> should get some feedback about the outcome of your request, one
> way or another; please just have patience while we work through
> them.
>
>Thanks for your cooperation, folks!
