Paul,
What positions are needed?  I could see a Chair and a Vice Chair (or
whatever you wanted to call them) that would ultimately be in charge of
the project.  They could serve one year terms that could be staggered
(one start in January and one start July).  Their responsibilities would
be to lead the meetings, approve draft documentation for release, and to
kick butt as necessary.

My opinion...

Eric

| According to the current policy, to be a "project" (meaning an official
| subproject) there has to be some sort of governance in place, "possibly
| including an election or selection scheme."  So we have some leeway to

| opinion may be, I think we just need to decide on what the new scheme

| Would it make sense, rather than to have a sort of "global Docs
| committee" like FDSCo, instead just have people who agree to take up the
| banner for particular interest areas, and we could still meet regularly
| as we do now?  Those assignments could be somewhat formal in nature, and
| noted on the wiki so community members know who's responsible for each
| area.
