So I would like to toss my hat in the ring for the curator position.

1. I do not have any curation experience but I do have moderation experience. That is if you could being an officer in a raiding World of Warcraft guild moderation. We planned raids and events. Made sure we geared new people up and set them up with groups to get their weekly tasks done.
2. As far as time I have to spend doing curation I would say a solid 3 hours a day. Sometimes more.
   I just want to say thank you for the contests you have been running and the fact you are brining in more curators to grow this community. I know it has to be a tremendous amount of work but you are doing a fantastic job.
