Is the team switching to rosetta? Is there a team number for the rosetta team?
You can add me to the mailing list for the team, that way I know where to start...
This sounds fairly simple/low maintainance so if you can't get Chrono or someone else, and need someone to help organize, I can devote a few hours a month to it (caveat: I'm not currently a full member).

Our fah team is in the top 80 out of over 166,000 teams. It takes a lot to get to that point. In particular it too DNA Mechanic, Mind, Chungenhung and a few others a lot to get it to that point. The program helps understand protein structure. Protein structure effects everything about cells, where the aging that we need to get out of there is. Rosetta may be more in depth, but fah is in depth, and our team is entrenched.
The team is revived now. Now I make a list of the people who folded each month and we give them points through the point system. I also bump the fah recruitment topic at least once a month (it has been more), and send out a monthly memo that serves a few functions.
If you want you could try out being the fah team leader. You would bump that recruit topic, and recruit a little each month, and then at the end of each month you could make the list of who has folded and send out the team memo. I would meet with you once a month for at least a few ten minutes to go over odds and ends and other avenues we might pursue. All in all it should take you around an hour during the month, and another hour at the end of the month.
Now, thats just my pitch to try to sell the keeping of the fah team. However if you all really want to go through the process of switching over to Rosetta, then I forsee that it will get messy. With our limited staff and resources we really try to shy away from messy. What you could do is get a list of the current and past fah participants from me and then write them all a pm asking them to switch over. You would want to write all the big time fah folders individually and try to do an extra good sales job on them. You would want to start a bunch of Rosetta topics like how to join our team, and some informational topics like fah has. If this all started materializing we would start a Rosetta sub forum. We would then go through Rosetta and work to figure out how to record the monthly contributors and then you (you can expand your management team if you find help too) would report that so we can give them points. If that all happens, I am quite certain that a lot of the fah participants wont switch or just wont read or consider the message. Some might think about switching but just forget or not do it. Then we'll end up with a compromised fah team and a small Rosetta team. I could be wrong but I would guess that it would take a good year or two to even begin to start approaching the kind of success with Rosetta that the fah team has now, and that would require some committed people/person, you namely, to stick with it for all that time. If say you stick with it for 8 months, which would be great, but then have other things to do then it would just leave fah compromised and a trailing off Rosetta team. If you want to give it a go, if you think you can do it, then let me know and we can discuss it a bit, ask the board, and then go from there.
Otherwise if you want to take the fah role then let me know that and we can meet, go over a few things and get you set up with that.
