Grand Moff open for applications
02:59 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
Overview
The position of Grand Moff is unique among subgroup commanders in that the
Grand Moff runs a subgroup and also must maintain the Systems Manual. The
successful applicant will need to demonstrate long term committment and
consistant levels of output to gain this position. Applicants must address
the following criteria:

Selection Criteria - Essential
1. Prove command experience, at the level of at least TIE Corps Wing
Commander or a similar position of responsibility.
2. Good written communication skills
3. An acceptable level of presence in online media, such as IRC, message
boards, etc.
4. Fast email response time.
5. The ability to work with a wide range of EH personnel, including the
Executive Officer, Fleet Commander and members of the Directorate.
6. An outline of plans or ideas for the Directorate.

Selection Criteria - Desirable
1. Experience in the creation and/or maintaining of online reference works
2. Proven experience in turning around an aspect of the EH.

You must address each of the criteria with supporting evidence. Simply
saying "Yep I can do that" won't be good enough. You must also include three
references, at least one being a current superior. These references will be
checked and your application will be considered in an extremely negative
light if you have not gotten permission from people to use them as
references first. Applications are to be directed to the Fleet Commander and
Executive Officer with the subject "Application for Grand Moff".

Domain spring cleaning
02:25 - SA Astatine [jpboyce@indigo.net.au]
I've been doing some cleaning up because the database ran out of space. The
result is about 40 megs of reclaimed datbase space and about 20 megs of
reclaimed disk space allocated to the web site. The only visibly affected
area of the database is the message board - I deleted all the posts prior to
the start of this year. The 20megs of disk space recovered was from the
deletion of the TO site. You can find the TO site now at
http://www.imperialacademy.org/. The course and staff pages are pulled right
off the TC database and should be accurate. If you encounter any errors,
email me and I'll have a look at it.
