On the leadership front, let me throw out a
hypothetical: should we
have MediaWiki 2.0, where we start with an empty repository and build
up? If so, who makes that decision? If not, what is our alternative
vision? Who is going to define it? Is what we have good enough?

Seriously: Oh ghod, please, no. I'm not a real big fan of Joel Spolsky,
as some people are, but I do in general agree with his assertion that
throwing everything out and starting from scratch is nearly always an
unconscionable approach to anything, especially something as sizable as
MediaWiki.
Cheers,
