[Foundation-l] Community Assembly

A stupid question deserves a stupid answer. That paradox will be addressed by periodically revisiting the charter.

How?

We can probably agree that this community is large, even if we can't 
agree on how to define it.  We can't avoid the inevitable paradoxes 
surrounding that question.  We also can't avoid the notion that 
community is fluid, and that its membership, however defined, changes 
over time.  This creates a situations that advantages the inertial views 
of those who happened to be there when the community was defined.
