Well, a small committee would surely be more effective than total anarchy -
which is sort of what we have now. Criticisms of group leadership would be
applicable if we asked the admins to lead - that's simply ridiculous - but a
small committee, perhaps akin to the arbcom, would be better, IMO. Every CEO
needs a COO, CTO, etc. after all.
