Out of everyone, I think smjjames is the one who should be the admin. While he claims to not have experience, he definitely has the most passion for the server.
Anyways, manuals and wikis are designed for the sole purpose of running a clanforge server, I wouldn't worry that much about teaching someone Bla. Just pick someone who knows how to run the incredibly thick red tape that is Blacraft bureaucracy.
Another option is to spread out duties more. Give someone the powers to replace all of the server maintenance and mapping, the powers to the collective storages, the powers to control the community etc. You'd still have total controls, but other people would be doing the things that bug you the most.
