Come on, there must be somebody who can take over Chris's job as
Ladder coordinator. It really involves very little work. Just a small
bit of administration. And to me it seems fun !
Why don't you do it yourself, then, one might ask. The reason is that in
my opinion it is best to spread tasks that are clear complete entities
and unrelated to other tasks over as many people as possible. This is
to involve more people, which gives us a stronger footing. It preserves
continuity and makes us less dependent on individual people's whims or
situations.
 
Apart from that: I want to put the ladder rules as they are compiled by
Chris and posted to everyone yesterday in the SHOGI-L archive. If
neither Chris nor I have heard any comments or suggestions before next
wednesday 7-th November, the rules as they are will be added to the
archive.
