The Team

Mentors currently have 9 members and 1 Board observer.

The Mentor team are: Alison, Christian, Cooky, David, Diz, Jacqui and Jo. Sheila Little is the team coordinator Wanda is acting co-coordinator. Andy Ludlow is our Board observer.


This Month

The mentor team have been handed Morpeth to care for after the owner decided the time had come to give up moderating.

We have found new owners for a few groups this month, The Sunderland mods have taken on South Tyneside and Washington as the new owners and the Wellingborough mods have taken on Thrapston, Kettering and Rothwell & Desborough

A few groups are going through the abandoned group procedure. These are groups where the owner has been absent for a very long time. If we don’t manage to make contact with the owner, active mods will be promoted to owner.

We have been mostly doing group moves to native this month. So far Mentors have moved around 150 groups to native hosting. Any group that needs help for any reason , or would like us to help to move the group to native, please mail us at mentors@ilovefreegle.org . If anyone wants to move the group themselves, mentors can mail you a file that goes through the process. Remember that to move your group, you need to be using modtools, it will be your only way to moderate after the move. If anyone needs a guide on using modtools, please contact us.

Holiday season is upon us again and we are caring for a few groups whose owners are away for a week or two. If anyone going away needs someone to cover the group, please contactmentors@ilovefreegle.org we will be happy to help.

There are currently 40 groups listed on the caretaker list needing new owners and 10 that are being cared for temporarily. These include some groups currently being cared for by non-mentors.

Since the list began, permanent new owners have been found for another 47 groups.
