That's a valid point. However, the steering group was thought of with having "fail over" in mind so that few people would know about the tasks at hand and can jump in for each other (in a coordinated fashion). Also, the steering group idea doesn't exclude the option of appointing individual people for certain jobs. However, the group should be able to make a better job at keeping things in flow and focused. > 2. To get things done release-wise, I think it would be good to have a > release-team for each release.

As much as I prefer discussing with people in real life, there is the notion of "no backroom conversations" WRT to driving development of an open source project. Having major issues resolved in RL meetings will exclude all those whose schedules don't match and those who can't afford to travel to Far Far Away.
