What I found persuasive (as a non-binding voter [;<) was the recognition of you as an ambassador for documentation. Maybe documentation ambassador would work better? Or champion?
In any case, I recommend that you accept the accolade and that all of us recognize that you are and will likely be a superb contributor, one that all of us, I presume, aspire to be, with no obligations beyond those of any volunteer.

I am certainly very happy that you all think highly of my contributions, but I'm not sure that I'm ready to spend enough time doing what I think a team leader should do. I guess it would help if I listed what I think those things are, and what I'm likely to do or not do, so we're all talking about the same thing. Just one comment now: David Nelson said, "If you feel that the team should continue to operate without any one single leader, with things being taken care of by the person most diligent at that moment..." My feeling is that things will have to continue to be "taken care of by the person most diligent at that moment" because no one person can (or, IMO, should) be directing all the traffic, and I'm certainly not going to hand out assignments or track everything that's going on. That's too much like a job, and I don't have time anyway. Even with a "team leader" we need several people taking responsibility for specific topic areas, a luxury we've never had (and only had briefly, years ago, at OOo). We have a few, but not anywhere near enough. I'll write more later. --Jean -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
