Ok, I'm willing to take two text month if needed. Shepherd participation waxes and wanes. We ostensibly had all podlings covered in that every one was assigned a shepherd, but four of our shepherd volunteers didn't come through this cycle, including three stalwarts who we have been able to rely on most of the time. I'm not sure how to solve this problem even if we get more volunteers and spread the load out, because by the time we discover that a shepherd didn't submit a review, it's too late for someone else to fill in. The shepherd window with the current schedule is 4 days long (Thursday through Sunday), because we need to leave time for people to respond to the shepherd comments before the report is filed. Doubling up shepherds would probably make matters worse, because each would likely let the the other assignee take care of things. Maybe if we were to recruit enough volunteers that each shepherd had only one assignment per month, there would be less fatigue and we'd get higher participation rates? Next month's cycle will have more podlings and we probably won't be able to cover all of them with the available roster of volunteers. Your taking on a second assignment is much appreciated. But please don't burn out! You've done a great job both last month with Olingo and this month with NPanday.
