I think that if if the system can be documented as Lawrence is doing, and operating instructions/manual created for supervisors,then people with moderate skills can supervise/teach at the sessions. Mike or a person he appoints can do routine maintenance, and a sysadmin will only be needed to be on call for trouble-shooting and for major updates or changes to the operations. I am helping with the manual and with some of the sessions when they get going.
Of course all help will be appreciated, particularly technical and teaching and financial.

So... What exactly is the Fairfield Lab?�� Where is it set up? ��a few details to elaborate on it's background might be helpful.
I know someone with teaching (primary) and tech quals who might be useful.

To bring up a (not entirely) unrelated subject, I was at Te Whare O Te
Ata last week, and I asked Mike Rarere what was going to happen to the
computer lab.

It��s clear Bruce Kingsbury was instrumental in getting this lab set up
and running, and it was providing a useful service to the community.
All of which was shot completely to hell as a result of his criminality
and stupidity.

I understood from Mike that, without somebody willing to provide
full-time support for free, as Bruce was, the lab cannot continue. This
seems a shame, but is there anything else we can do? Fundraise to pay
someone to provide support, even if only part-time?
