On the leadership front, let me throw out a hypothetical: should we have MediaWiki 2.0, where we start with an empty repository and build up? If so, who makes that decision? If not, what is our alternative vision? Who is going to define it? Is what we have good enough?

Seriously: Oh ghod, please, no. I'm not a real big fan of Joel Spolsky, as some people are, but I do in general agree with his assertion that throwing everything out and starting from scratch is nearly always an unconscionable approach to anything, especially something as sizable as MediaWiki.
