aol! (which translates to: me too) :)

Looking at other big community processes:
debian: AFAIC democracy. But we do not have the community process 
implemented debian has.
linux (kernel): discussions welcome. If ending up in circles, enter King 
Linus (and there are working monarchies even in politics) and thus spoke 
the lord: "...".
apache foundation: hmm, don't know exactly... the model SqF wants to 
implement when the birth is done?

There is one tv game show in germany. Every second show they'll make an 
'expiriment' showing that a group strongly reacts to leaders (even if 
not elected) or that a group without leaders loses orientation :)

And, knowing how boring it is just to organize than to do (you'll never 
see that if you're told to do by someone who manages you), I think the 
squeaders (hey, read it twice, so it must be some sort of a name) have 
taken a hard job (and even unpaid at the short run).

Best regards, Markus

Sarcastic remark:
As a citizen of the european union looking at the process of the 
government trying to implement their idea of software patents, I'll have 
to admit: I do not seem to be used to democracy, only some sort economic 
dictatorship which was fairly well marketed as democracy for decades now. :/
