These are all reasonable concerns, and I agree that there are cases where CEA hasn’t done this well in past years.
As soon as the wiki is up and running, and we have a sense for what “maintenance” looks like for Pablo and I (plus the level of volunteer activity we end up with after the festival), I think we’ll be in a much better place to make contingency plans, and I picture us doing much of the research/planning you called for in April. (I work in a series of monthly sprints; this month’s sprint is launching the wiki, and future months will involve more thinking on sustainability.)
