<h3>We need marketing more than moderators</h3>

There is so little activity here, even one person can easily handle the rare moderation tasks.  If you just need to put a name in a slot, then I'm willing to do it, but I'm probably not the best person for the job.

The real point is that you need to promote this site out there.  There seem to be enough people here that are willing and able to answer questions, but there are basically no questions.  This is actually true of most of the Codidact sites, but this one is even less active than the average.  I don't know how much longer the experts are going to check in here when there is nothing new to see for days or weeks.

Promoting the site needs to be done by people engaged in physics out there, which is not me.  Those in regular contact with physics undergrads would be most appropriate.  If you can find such people, it would be a good idea to make them mods too.  That way they can help steer the site from both ends.
