Ok. How do we create effective leadership for en.wp and eventually, other
projects with similar growing pains?

What role does the community and consensus process retain in that model?

Can we get the consensus process back to a usable tool even when applied at
"project scale" (ie, in decisions that affect all of en.wp)?
