- Organization. Clarification of board role and limits to executive

Last wish is actually clearly related to several points listed above, but I chose to mention it as a goal again, to insist on its importance.
This is important, and a source of so much confusion over the years. How EXACTLY do the projects and the board interact with one another? En.Wikibooks has had problems in communicating with the board in the past, and as a result a number of important initiatives (such as publishing our books, etc) have been stalled indefinitely. When we have a question or a request, it doesnt seem like there is any good place to turn. Maybe the board needs it's equivalent of a "bugzilla" where we can post questions/comments/requests to the board to be dealt with in an organized manner. We could call it "boardzilla" :).
Is this still the case?
Doesn't the following announcement mean that there is very much *going* to be a big project to publish books (link below)?

I confess I am still waiting for clarification on how precisely the partnership with PediaPress will be structured; but I am not in a hurry, never will be.
