I am on that list, shown as technical contributor. I chose
position title prototyper/developer since that is more
descriptive of what I do. Titles are often vague to the
point of being useless; I recommend being specific.

It is true those functions are not on the list, that can easily
be fixed. This is not a question of what positions we need, rather
these are real positions I have held for some time now. I did real
work on the 10 year anniversary announcement, I am working on the
announcement of the new categories, hope to get that issue going
once these recent issues have been taken care of. The staff list
is open for perusal to verify my contributions and my focus.
What brought this debate up is what people on the staff list do, not
what the volunteer list means. In the interest of full disclosure
and avoiding suspicions of conspiracies and secret roles I hope these
very real positions that require real work are listed too. For the
same reason I hope we can be a specific as possible.
