I don't know why this hasn't been made a priority, but anyone who had stepped forward either didn't work out, or someone didn't get back in touch with the potential volunteer. I considered just putting instructions up publicly, but it's probably not a wise idea to let the general public into the back-end where they can potentially mess up profiles that have already been done.
I can write up some instructions, but I'm not sure who to pass them on to, because I've been absent for a while now, and haven't heard from The_Skycutter since March 9th, 2011. A mod should be handling this process. It seems like it's less of a priority for long time members than it is for people who are new to the site. Or maybe people who've been here a long time are just used to seeing things move slowly.
Either way, I'd be glad to provide access information and some instruction for editing the character profiles. I just need to know it's someone who's serious about learning how to use the CMS, and committed to making progress. And moderator support wouldn't hurt.
