I could be very blunt here, but I choose not to be. The suggestion
that there should be a wiki-council was floated by the most senior
member of the board, Florence Devouard, its titular head or chair.

If I comment and embellish on this suggestion, what in the <expletive
delided> makes you think I am complaining. There is no complaint
from this quarter, merely queries and comments. Please be advised
that if I were to want to complain, that would be quite plain to all
concerned.

I am infact trying my best to help the board do the right thing. If
you see mee complaining, please disregard that entirely. I think
you will not though, if you have any idea what the difference between
a legitimate question and a complaint is.
