Hmmmm ....
Anarchistic/Democratic Ogliarchic Meritocracy, really.
Boy, ain't that fun to say!
The Core may be an "ogilarchy", but most things are decided individually or
collectively by Hackers and the sub-project leads, whose influence is almost
directly based on seniority and contributions to the project. Also, we
seldom take votes with actual counts; our "voting" process tends to be more
reminicent of anarchist labor organizations and political groups, where we
attempt to build a consensus out of all participants or "all minus one".
Also, Core is aware that we can't do anything that we can't persuade the
majority of contributors is a good idea, lest we lose people from the
project.
