They'll be joining [the existing crew][6] shortly — please thank them for volunteering, and share your assistance and advice with them as they learn the ropes!

Please also join me in well-wishing [splattne](https://serverfault.com/users/45/splattne) and [mrdenny](https://serverfault.com/users/1674/mrdenny), who are stepping down after **5 years** of service to this community.
