The next item was ComProj's organisation. schiste suggested that we get people involved with the group as project managers and just that - people who may not really be appropriate for doing projects themselves. He said that lots of people who do communications work do not like project management, so this would allow them to just get on with their specialisation. schiste volunteered to try to find a pool of project leaders from across Wikimedia. Please let him know if you are interested.
I think this is probably one of the best suggestions made in a long time. The difficulty I find in organisazing in the 'wiki world" is that no-one ever really feels they are "in charge". And in charge, in that context does not mean that you can bully people to do the job they've said they would do, but rather that you are able to keep an overview on things and reassign to someone who has more time for example. I think it is a good way of working and in any case, it makes comproj's role a little clearer to me.
