I could see that kinda working IMO Caleb...
a president-like figure to run things, elected id say would be best, maybe 1
year terms or something, cannot be overruled but elections can be called
early if some overly high percentage of council/others express concerns
about the person... otherwise their word is final, see that would at least
give things direction, and the person is removable but only with some kinda
concensus among devs... id also think this person should be independent of
groups such as the council/devrel/etc if so...
just my 0.02 :)
