Down 12% in 2010, 8% in 2009 and 6% in 2008. The time to archive WP:ANI was halved this year. Andrea, what is your opinion on the declining numbers of active administrators?

I have been critical of the bureaucratic calcification setting in. The project needs to stay non-hierarchical and dynamic. Administrators have a thankless job, and fewer people have an interest in going through the bullshit election process. Enough with the pettifogging wikilawyers obsessing over byzantine rules.
