You are right. Leading by example and consensus is the way things work. If the
committee can publish clear goals, there is no need to elect a leader.

Now I realize my concern is about project management. Do you think the
committee could publish a project web page showing who works on what?

Someone willing to help on a projet would view the page and contact
developpers more easilly. Presently, there is no clear knowledge who is
working on the W32 port or on replication. Using a project page, there would
be less chances to see new forks of particular projects (W32, replication).

This page would be accessible from the to-do-list. Conversly, the to-do-list
would lead to the projects page.

Just my 2 cents.
Thanks to all of you who replied my mail.
