Maybe a *really* representative Board ? Where do you think the resistance to Board decisions come from ?

I doubt you'll get another such request since I've been told that new language wikis is not a Board issue and I shouldn't be taking decisions on these or asking developers to start them. What people fail to realise is that if the Board doesn't take these decisions (and perhaps they're right and the Board shouldn't) - then who is going to take them? There is increasingly resistance to the Board doing anything, but also resistance to them delegating any authority they may have had, which is just leading to stagnation. So, who should be taking the decision on new language wikis (and also on new projects), especially when no
