In what ways could the existence of a designated,
day-to-day leader be
unworkable in WP? I believe, without such a leader, the goose you refer to
will inevitably lose its way.
I'm not clear on how this is supposed to actually work and how to get
people to go along with it. Changing words on a policy page doesn't
change thoughts or behaviours. It probably wouldn't be too hard to get
lots of people to leave. Of course, the addictive power of wikicrack
may be more powerful than I'm estimating.
