I disagree with you here. I've been through design processes that involved
many, many participants. What makes the process slow is having nobody in
charge of the process that's willing to drive the process along. Without
having someone willing or able to gather everyone's input and make a final
decision what happens is that the design participants are forced to make
decisions by concensus, something that's nearly impossible and takes a
REALLY long time to make any decision at all.
Anyway, I think it's possible to have a design process that's totally open
and still speedy. Making it closed only limits the number of minds that can
contribute ideas.
