Well, I don't think we'll make changes anytime soon.
Jimbo,
we all trust you to do the right thing. It's not very scalable and a bit slow, but it should suffice for a while, especially when we at least organize the discussion process better. I do believe that your role will increasingly expose you to criticism and flames, especially as Larry is no longer there to play primary target.
However, as you said yourself, the system doesn't work well for the non-English Wikipedias *right now*. What should we do to decide in these conflicts?
Regards,
Erik
