I am not very convinced. I think the positions selected really stick to 
the Foundation issues. And it is not the Foundation role imho to get 
involved with "content" or "quality" or "usability" directly. These are 
more communities issues. Imho. Well, at least, this is my opinion right 
now, I could be convinced otherwise.
