I'll endeavor not to conduct our meetings _too_ drunk on power, and keep my maniacal laughter to a minimum ;-) Seriously though, I look forward to weekly conversations and other collaboration with such a bright bunch of people with such amazing accomplishments. Group leadership on a complex set of projects like this is incredibly difficult; doing that while still keeping a website of this size up-and-running, using code (including many extensions and lots of editor-contributed Lua) is a formidable task. It's wonderful to be part of building our software the same way our editors create the Wikimedia family of projects, rather than resorting to the "benevolent dictator for life" model. I'm honored to receive the opportunity to make our decision making process clearer for everyone who wants to contribute. Rob (who now feels the weight of responsibility, now that he can't use his old disclaimer "I'm not a member of the committee")
