Updating Issues-- Legals Have Possibly Thrown Bukkit Into a Bucket

I'm trying as hard as I can to get the server updated to version 1.8-- but Bukkit is in some trouble right now.  1.8 will still be coming out, according to Dinnerbone.. but getting everything sorted out will take some time. It's super confusing, but here's what I got:

"Unfortunately, all good things come to an end and the Bukkit project has run its course, leaving me to make one final - incredibly difficult - decision to shut down the project I’ve poured 3 and a half years of my life into which means so much to me. "
-EvilSeph

"Warren over at bukkit seems to have forgotten that the project was bought by Mojang over two years ago, and isn't his to discontinue."
 -Jeb_

 "One of the ex-developer[s], Wesley Wolfe, is attempting to bring bukkit, mojang and spigot down, by taking them to court, and appealing for a DMCA"
-RapidWolf24

Staff Application FAQ

Is it okay to use Microsoft Word 2010?
-Yes, it's fine. If you do not have Word, contact me.

Is this all supposed to be on a Word Document?
-No, although you are instructed to attach a Word Document to the email.

How long will it take to hear from you guys?
-This is one of the things you're not supposed to ask, but it depends.

How long should my essay be?
-As long as you think is necessary; long enough to get your point across.

What if I want to apply for several positions?
-Submitting more than one application is not necessary (nor is it allowed); if you'd like to apply for more than one position, just be sure to mention (and fully supply any information) this in both the essay (#1) and #6 (and anywhere else in the application where such information seems applicable).

Where are the guidelines?
-If you're to apply for staff, be sure to read as much as you can find on applying.  The full guidelines are here, the staff application form (as opposed to the email/manual form) is here, and any posts with the "staff applications" tag are located here.

What's the difference between the "Staff Application Form" and the "Email/Manual Form"?
-There are two ways you can submit staff applications.  One is the "Email Form", where you answer the questions and attach a Word Document all in one email.  The other is the "Staff Application Form", where you answer questions on a form (some find this more convenient) and separately email the Word Document (containing the essay).

What do I do??!  I don't understand the guidelines!
-The guidelines are very advanced.  If you do not understand the guidelines, it's not recommended that you apply.

More FAQs will be added as questions are asked. Good luck!
