Admins overwhelmed but no new admins being accepted?

I keep reading how overwhelmed admins are, how tasks are backlogged yet the last admin accepted thread is from 23 days ago.

A Head admin may be better suited to answer this but I will give the basics, take this with some salt as it’s what I gathered:

It may seem like accepting new admins is the obvious answer but it’s is also overwhelming to accept new admins and train them. Until then these trial admins can’t help too much with the backlogged tasks. In fact I know the current batch of trialmins are still being trained.

Of course someone has to look at the applications and put up anyone considered that they may be a good part of the team (and I think this is a vote? Don’t quote me). Then they will have to get in contact with them once accepted. Most applying admins don’t have previous experience, so they need to be trained. Answer their question etc.
