GET YOUR ASS UP AND DO SOMETHING!!!!
While I think you're right that we lack active members - I still think more or
less formalized teams would help make it more accessible for people to join
in. Also of course one of the prime tasks for any team would be to
recruit/encourage new members.
And just a small sidenote:
In fact there is already a strong leadership in most of the areas
Wiki content: Pflodo, jdd, CuCullin, Beineri, Rajko
Wiki infrastructure: Martin, darix
Packaging: Pascal, Packmans, James, Peter
Buildservice: Adrian, mls, schiele, Cornelius
Meetings: me, darix, cboltz
General: skh, adrianS, cthiel
All these people have my utmost respect - and I would happily accept any of
them as team leads - I'm not asking for something extremely bureaucratic -
but I'm reluctant to start making major changes to the wiki-download-page for
example - if I don't know if someone else is working on it already - or if
tomorrow someone's going to alter it completely again. For people to want to
get involved we need some coordination.

Hi Martin,
use the wiki to announce your ideas. At present it can happen that
article stay untouched for a long time, just because there is no many
people active, but believe it that is seen by somebody.
Make skeleton of an article and fill in as much as you can. There is no
need for notes about work in progress, to be delivered, just leave it as
is and if there is somebody with similar ideas you'll see his/her work.
Another wiki principle is that if you think that words and expressions
need expansion for some readers, just put double square brackets around
it and it will appear as link. That will be reminder for you and any
other that is willing to jump in to open the link and write article.
Work on side and delivery at once is not really wiki style. Make your
ideas available and improve on the fly.
