Ergo my earlier suggestion that, if we give more autonomy to
WikiProjects, we should have some sort of community accreditation for
it.  In other words, it would be up to the community at large to
delegate control to each specific project as necessary.  WikiProject
Schools may be too contentious, and may therefore be refused such
authority; but for many projects this would not be an issue.
