See, I'm a firm believer that a group of people can _never_ react quickly enough to get anything done in this world. I believe one person _can_ make decisions rapidly enough to deal with the flow of current (and future) informaiton. So I make the case that "we" shouldn't be deciding _anything,_ and that Philip should.
That also nicely solves the (admittedly rather academic case of) lack of coordination when several people independently decide, "heck, I'LL do it". The purpose of the "committee" meeting I'm proposing is really an audience with Philip the Lord so he can decide what he wants us pathetic volunteer peons to do for him so he can concentrate on what he does best. But he can't delegate to people who don't attend. One item for the agenda: Sign over SmartList to somebody who has an active interest in maintaining and developing the package. I have been thinking about some good candidates but again I guess it boils down to who has the time and is willing to do it.
