Glad to see some support from the board. Thanks, David.

I think it makes more sense to keep the "team" of moderators for this
conversation small. I'm all for transparency, hence the suggestion to put
definitions out to the larger list for feedback and such before finalizing,
but it would be prudent to keep the group of people heading up the
initiative small. As we all know, the more people involved in a project, the
more likely it becomes a chaotic mess. We need to treat this like a software
project, where a team puts something together and then holds a public beta.

A landing page that is visible to the public is fine—I just think that only
a few people should be enabled to write and edit until we get a good
definition for the IxDA site. We need a small group of people to filter the
community's feedback into a solid set of definitions. If everyone can write
and edit, we'll never get anywhere.

Backpack would probably be better suited for this, as you can create a page
that only certain people can edit, but everyone can see. We could set up a
free account and be done in a few days. No need to complicate matters.

If the Board holds too tight a grip on the tools and process, you could end
up with a revolt. :)

Ah, heck. I'll just go set it up and spearhead it on my own. Better than
spending a week figuring out how to figure it out.
