I think a moderator would be good. It could be something like guest
curator for the site. We could just have slots for guest curator,
like monthly, then anyone can sign up for a slot via a web interface,
but you can only curator, say once a year, depending on demand.
The Share group in NYC (http://share.dj) has one time slot for a
concert each week. Anyone can sign up for it on the website. It
works well for them.
