Actually, I think Natural Selection will take care of this to a greater or lesser extent.
To truly embrace the open source movement, we have no ability to ask unpaid volunteers to focus on any one particular piece of the project. Sure, we can make recommendations, but in the long run, people will focus on what they want to focus on. My intent is to have us focus on the Marketing aspects of Ubuntu in a similar way that the Development team focuses on the distribution. Our "bugs" will be outstanding tasks that anyone can address. Our "roles" will be similar to the various aspects of the Linux and Ubuntu distribution as a whole. Our "code base" will be a central repository that the core-marketers have final approval on that anyone and everyone can access as "Approved for Distribution" dissemination. I will try and get this done as soon as possible, but I do have a full time job and several voluntary positions, so I am doing my best to get my proverbial ducks in a row :) I definitely think that my idea will allow for several of us to take on a leadership role in the various areas that we have to cover...this isn't going to be a one person show by any means. We have alot to do, alot of ground to cover, and alot of different balls to juggle at the same time. I hope any contribution I can make can help accomplish this goal further. However you have every right to say I am a quack and I should shut my yapper :) This is the beauty of democracy!
