I agree that the openness is doable... just disagree with the method...
anyone could have set up a form and a server script to compile the results,
and published those results daily so that we could see the innards... I find
arguments against increasing efficiency, without corrupting collegiality, as
counterproductive... and certainly will bite WP in the ass if this
philosophy carries over into streamlining heavy bandwidth/editing issues, if
this project ever *really takes off... ;) -SV
