Consensus is in a perpetual struggle with entropy and loses out once the portion of the community involved in the decision becomes large enough that the discussion can no longer organically organise itself. Some structure is needed. If I can promote one alternative, see consensus polling [1] which I suggested five years ago that enwiki might like to try [2], to responses of BURO and CREEP (which are guaranteed responses to any proposal for any sort of structure). -- [1] http://meatballwiki.org/wiki/ConsensusPolling [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Consensus_polling -- Stephen Bain [email protected] _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
