Hi everyone,
I've reconsidered my stance on project "owners". (By project, I mean
whiteboard or analysis.)
My initial position was that I didn't want there to be designers who have
more power over a project than others, afraid that the meritocracy we have
would turn into a dictatorship in each project we tackle.
But it's true that it would be handy to have every project looked after. I
definitely concur with having a person who would look after a project, as
long as all the designers have equal say in every project.

So, rather than owner, I'd prefer to use the term caretaker. The caretaker
would:
a) make sure that the work on the project is progressing smoothly
b) provide updates about it at the weekly IRC chat
c) be in charge of communication with developers and other relevant
people/themes
Anything I'm missing?

The caretaker wouldn't make key decisions (those would be made on the IRC
chat), and he wouldn't even have to do any design work on the project. It
wouldn't even have to be a designer.

What do you think?
