I like the idea, but I'm not quite sure the community is ready to elect people just yet. While it's still so small, having the wrong people in positions of authority could cause catastrophic damage to the organization as a whole. I think what I'd like to see happen is that the current members of the steward/staff team become the community council because you guys know what you're doing (and obviously are doing it right), and then as the wikifarm grows and becomes more established, bring more people onboard. I think co-project leaders is a good idea because it prevents one person from having total control (even though that's not even what that role is supposed to be, I know). It also allows them to divvy up tasks and better manage the organization based on the skills they have. Anyways, just my two cents. -- <font color="blue"><b>[[User:Joe G|Joe G.]]</b></font> ([[User_talk:Joe G|Talk]]) 22:56, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

:Thanks for your input, Tyreek and Joe. If you read carefully above, you'll see that I purposely didn't address the question of elections for the two main positions. The reason for this is that, like Joe suggested, I'm planning to appoint the current stewards to the Community Council until the community is mature enough for its votes to accurately reflect the community's needs ([[wikipedia:law of large numbers|law of large numbers]]).
