Mike and all: It sounds as if we have more than a single lead, we have the makings of a SIG/sub-project/steering committee. To get things started in Fedora, we often form a steering committee out of the first and most interested volunteers, and follow on with proper voting some time in the future when it is obviously time. This also gives time for people who e.g. read this thread in a week to still become involved. How does this sound: * Get all the volunteers together to form a steering committee * Let them wrangle out who is the "Lead"/chair * Empower this group in a similar way to how Mike has empowered the Infrastructure group A steering committee is *not* bureaucratic nonsense. It is a clear and provable method for i) showing that something is important to the Fedora Project, ii) making real action come from words. I see that empowerment as being a simple process of letting people do stuff, and over time giving them increasing responsibility, accountability, and access. Mike is the natural person to bring such a steering committee and leadership upwards until it is ready to fly on its own. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
