I proposed the new site *Electrical Engineering*, and I see that the basic framework has been created.  Thanks.

However, there is a difference between the basic mechanics of a site, and a fully up-and-running site.  Now that the dev team has worked behind the scenes to create the site, how can we now take it the rest of the way, preferably without having to involve them?  Some specific issues:

1 - I want to put up a single page explaining more about the site, what is on topic, what is expected of questions, etc.  Basically, I want a "Site Introduction" page I can fill in.

2 - Most, if not all, of the original core group should be moderators.  How does that happen?

3 - What are the moderation tools?  We'll need to delete bad/spam questions, delete comments, handle flags, etc.

I'd really like to take it from here with as little involvement of the dev team as possible.  I expect they'd like the same thing.
