Might as well get all the news out in one day. Once Kinja's bedded down, Meg Hourihan will be moving on. Meg's been project director since the start of the site, and what you see is her creation, along with the engineering team of Gina, Jim, Mark and Matt. I'm just the guy who writes the checks, and insists on pretty icons.
We're not going to refill the position, but have been searching for a Chief Technology Officer. Now that we've launched, most of the issues we'll face over the next few months will be to do with hardware, and scaling the system. We need a CTO with experience running high-volume high-availability sites. We have a couple of candidates, but the search is still open. If you're interested in the role, or know someone who would be a good fit, please email me at nick@gawker.com. I'll send the job specs.
As for future directions of the product... Meg, as well as remaining as chair of Kinja's board, will continue to consult. 37signals, the interface design consultancy, will be taking an ongoing role. And you can also send me your wishlists.
