I took advantage of the fact that the template viewed on the webpage is in a highlighted block. In addition to adding some text, I also trimmed a little. I wanted to remove the volunteer paragraph.. do we really need that on both pages?

I think that point needs more emphasis, not less. I'm tired of seeing reminders from impatient job posters. But it's near the end, so I doubt many will make it to that point in the instructions. If anything needs to be up-front and boldfaced, it's that.

I completely agree.. except the "volunteer paragraph" I was referring to is the second paragraph on the page that talk about looking at the wiki. You are talking about "life gets in the way" paragraph that closes the page.. which, incidentally, I don't think I touched.
I see. So apart from the misunderstanding we're in violent agreement :-)
How about we remove the text about finding volunteer positions (as I originally intended to say)
We don't post volunteer positions though, so shouldn't we state that? The text was put there when such volunteer posts became annoying.
and move the closing paragraph to second position? Also, put a note in the auto-responder message if it is not there already?
Sure. In the end, it's up to you -- whoever does the work gets final say.
Just my 2c. I am trying to make it clearer for the careful poster. What would really help is some way for the posters who cannot or will not grok RST to fill in the template.
