That's an excellent idea!
Hit 'send' too soon. That's an excellent idea because the problem with
FAC or GA is that they're committee-based (even if it's an ad-hoc
committee of regulars), and committees don't scale. (This, by the way,
is I think why AFD and DRV get poisonous - the ad-hoc committee
changes the process for its convenience without actively considering
accessibility or scalability, so it becomes insular and jargonistic.)
Using the WikiProjects is a way to make the committees scale with the
article and editor base.
