-While the technician has control over the technical infrastructure and (so far) carries the costs, he pledges to remain loyal to the feminist cause by not trying to appoint himself as some sort of leader.  (In other words, I'm not going to be another Charles Clymer.)  The technician will always be the technician first, a financer second (which might be replaced by public funding in the future), and lastly he will try to be a useful regular member.  The technician welcomes other (and ideally female) technicians to get in touch to gain insight into the infrastructure, so that they would be able to recreate it in case of a catastrophe.  Backups of the data will be available to others as well.  This way, the community shouldn't need to put an undue amount of trust into the sole technician.  After all, feminism is primarily a movement by women, for women.
+The technician is responsible for the technical infrastructure behind the FeministWiki project.  She or he keeps the system running, and offers technical support to members.  The technician does '''not''' have a leadership role in the community.
+As it's possible for the technician to change over time, it could be seen as a title.
+There is a FeministWiki account by the name of "Admin" which can be used by the technician to carry out various administrative tasks on the wiki, forum, etc., although it's possible to grant similar administrative powers to other accounts as well.  (For instance, the technician could grant such powers to her or his regular FeministWiki account, so they needn't log out and back in all the time with different accounts when carrying administrative tasks.)
+== The first technician ==
+The first technician, who built the FeministWiki infrastructure, is [https://twitter.com/@socjuswiz Social Justice Wizard].  His FeministWiki username is SocJusWiz.  He also pays the bills needed to run the FeministWiki infrastructure.  (About 200 EUR a year.)  His work is to be seen as volunteer work, and his financial backing as a donation to the world-wide feminist community.
+The technician pledges his allegiance to the feminist cause as defined by the women who have founded and continue to lead the movement in its true spirit, upholding the freedom and human dignity of women and girls without compromise.  In particular, he promises not to become another Charles Clymer.  He encourages to-be technicians, especially women, to get involved in the FeministWiki infrastructure so that the community doesn't need to put an undue amount of trust in him.
