democracy or benevolent dictatorship (works for linux) or whatever you guys want
beware, 100% consensus isn't always achievable, so don't make the project pay for wanting it this is how it could be: 1. decide among you who is going to lead 2. the leader invites people to follow (starting by the inner circle) 3. ignore any noise the project moves forward, the community profits from things done and the community knows who's behind the project* sebastian o/ * BTW there is an idea for smalltalk hub that I thing don't even github got it yet: an incentive for meritocracy you only need to expose that inner circle of people. No need to be a group feature, just a top ten of people that had its push requests accepted.
