Well, I think as a general proposition that this, without more, is a bad way to appoint leaders in any community, whether a democracy or a meritocracy as ours is. But I don't think your email is in the wrong direction generally: we seem to agree that the key is to develop a focused and well defined set of aims and projects. I think the key to giving the team structure is to define its projects better, because people have a lot of ideas on this list and they need to be channelled into a concrete direction. I would suggest that the team get together to discuss requirements that each project should have, a process for discussing and approving them, people involved, and then most importantly, implementing them! That will ensure that each project that the team works on will have a focus and definition. Again, I'm deriving this from watching the Italian team do the same thing, pretty successfully, in similar conditions. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-marketing mailing list ubuntu-marketing@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-marketing
