Hi David,

the team structure isn't decided upon. I simply grows. When ECT started we
haven't waited for a decision of anybody. We entered the wiki and started.

Projects jump up in the same way. Anybody can define a new project as
"Project Proposal". You find people that support the  team. Someone of the
team decides to take up the role of the coordinator. That's it in principle.

The only given commitment is, that the coordinator of a project reports to
the board, like the board reports to the R&D, like the R&D reports to the
association.

Some projects will be successfull and produce results. Other projects will
silently slumber until some people take them up again and to produce
results. TYPO3 is a "meritocraty". Activity and results are the measures.
There are few limits of what you can do. Wiki, NG, TER all this is open to act.

I have written the "Definition of Terms" section, to provide a common
language to communicate.
