Yes please, this project needs an active leader. There is currently too much undecided topics. As a reference please look how Fedora Project [1] is doing things. There is a project leader (that I obviously think should be SteveC) and there is Fedora Board [2] The board is composed of community elected members, and all members have a vote on who gets to be a Board member. People who are running for elections put up a page on the wiki saying what they do for the project, and what is their "goal" to do when they become members of Board. Board votes on all decisions and their decisions are final, but represent the consensus of most users. Is there anything similar currently for OpenStreetMap project?
