To clarify: fixing most problems on the server is a job for @Licho or possibly @Histidine. @GoogleFrog and myself are not necessarily competent to do anything more than diagnose the problem, if that.

Today's
issue
happened
to
be
a
problem
which
has
happened
before,
and
which
we
have
put
together
the
access
permissions
and
knowledge
required
for
me
to
solve
it
(
today
was
the
first
time
this
has
been
done
in
anger,
though
thanks
to
@Licho
for
helping
with
a
hiccup
at
the
end)

So do go on pinging me for such problems, but there is a reasonable chance that I am going to have to escalate it further.

Responding to the actual post: it maybe makes more sense to think of this as a "server admin" job rather than a "core developer" job. This affects both the skillset and the trust required. The Zero-K team and community does not have to implicitly trust somebody's judgement or competence very much for them to submit publicly-viewable code to the game/lobby/server. Quite a bit of trust is required that somebody with server access will not (through malice, overestimation of their own abilities, or anything else) make a mess of the database etc. in a way which would be difficult or impossible to mend.

[spoiler]I for one am *not* a particularly knowledgeable server admin or SQL handler, but I know my limitations and stay carefully within them.[/spoiler]
