(disclosure: I'm not a proj mgr, I am not good at pm, and I do not want to be a 
pm for lopsa.)

The more I try to help actually do things, the more I'm working with other 
volunteers who seem to be very over-worked. (Mind you, it seems they bring this 
on themselves, rather than it being dumped on.) Several people I've talked to, 
seem to be pulled between the "doing" and the "managing".

So without my spiralling off into examples, does my perception seem right to 
anyone else? 

Would it make sense, to try to wedge a general project manager into the LOPSA 
org chart somewhere? ...someone tasked with keeping the global view of 
everything we are doing as directed by the Board? ...someone to advocate for 
resources when they see individual people getting over-burdened or projects 
stalling? (I'm just free-thinking, not trying implying that's a list of ills 
suffered by LOPSA.)
