Here is my clear idea: since you are doing the work - you get to own
it, lead it, and those that don't like what you do get to gripe at you,
and everyone else gets to back you up :-) [ if only to keep you
motivated, happy and productive ;-].

I read it - it had about five new formal roles in it - so I didn't like
it. I'd much prefer that you were the leader by dint of actually doing
all the hard work (like you are now) :-)
Oh - and the only real comment I had was: IMHO developers should have
access to quickly change / maintain their page as the code evolves; and
(personally) I am not a big believer in lots of formal access control -
but in social pressure and consensus building: you created some nice
content - how can we help you stop other people mangling it ?

True, so I wonder how we can help coax people into producing and
editing in a tasteful and restrained way ? how can we build good taste,
and/or asking-when-they-don't-know-the-answer into the community of
editors ?
Does that help ? :-)
ATB,
Michael.
