On the topic of lieutenants I'd also like to add that it might make sense to try and get people working in deployments to participate in that role. Walter, Bernie, Daniel, and a few others seem to be in a good position to know who one might ask here. Personally I also feel that the decision process regarding the design of new features and Sugar in general could be reworked to try and limit actual decisions to the beginning of the 6-month release cycle. Having a specific time-frame of let's say 2 to 4 weeks in which the core design-issues will be discussed and decided upon could also make it easier to attract people to fulfill the role of the friendly dictator or board. At the moment it seems like there's not enough synchronization between the various design-related efforts which then leads to many seperate ad-hoc decisions which aren't good for the overall consistency of the platform. Regarding the HIG I'd be happy to participate in some sort of sprint to update it, maybe something to plan for the time between Christmas and New Year's? Anyway, thanks to Bernie for getting this discussion started and for everyone's great input, I definitely think that things are moving into the right direction.
