Yes, I was also thinking along these lines. Now when/if we are taking
this role-based approach, which I think would be very good (opinions?),
we can probably handle one or two more Guides. Cees is running some
infrastructure, has good connections with other communities and has IMHO
proven earlier quite well that he is committed to the "task".

Btw - sorry for my wording "cruft" about SqF swiki - wasn't implying
that the stuff there was bad in any way - when going in I will of course
not "trash" anything, just move around a bit perhaps.

Or... if the others are ok with you joining us (which I assume) and you
pick 7&8 above then perhaps you could do te reorg of the Swiki, put the
mission statement up there and start nailing down the "role" table.

Typically we could also at the same page record other responsibilities
held by other people than the Guides.

How does this sound?
