organize anything. There are no back rooms here --
everything is done
in public, with wide advertising throughout the
system of how it's
done. We're always open to suggestions, of course,

system right now is a model of public
accountability.
The system right now may have been good in your
opinion, but it was developed without input or notice
of many wikipedians. Maybe some had little input;
maybe it was developed a year or two ago when many of
us hadn't joined wikipedia. But either way, some
wikipedians oppose the system, so it must be
reconsidered
Excellent point! LDan wasn't there in 1787. ;-)
