What are  the requirements?
Can  you do it from home?
What would the job duties be?
How much time would it take?
Can you do it from any computer?

Thank you for any information.

The current situation:
When the Mozilla Foundation was created in July of 2003, the domains had to be
moved to their own servers. This includes news.mozilla.org. The problem is
that they don't have the resources to set up the server, create the new
newsgroups, work out a transition plan, and maintain the server. Mozilla is
currently looking for a volunteer news administrator to do that. Until that
happens, all the netscape.public.mozilla.* usenet newsgroups are for
development discussion, and the user support newsgroups are on a secure
server, not propagated to usenet.
