I believe Mark Shuttleworth has addressed this. * The decision has been made to take a very professional approach and accept resumes. * The positions will be selected by the CC. It should go without saying that a good organizational structure, with strong management, is very effective. One would hope that if you 'hire' the proper individuals for roles, that they will perform in a professional manner and apply their skill-base. Hopefully the results will showcase their particular abilities. Generally you hire a chef to cook and design meals, not a welder. On the flip side of the coin is a system laden with micro managing -- bureaucracy based creative endeavours; A system where the welder chooses the menu, a carpenter cooks the entree, and a veterinarian lays out the plate. The bottom line is that community driven efforts thus far yield a rather hodge-podge approach that lacks the distinct professional polish and consistency. By establishing a 'central' artistic council, I believe Mr. Shuttleworth wishes to negotiate this obstacle. I suppose that makes 4 cents. Sincerely, TJS
