I'd like to add that this snippet here - "The Community Working Group
aims to act as a central point of contact by being available to
communicate needs between various groups within project, including
group leaders, contributors, and users." - sounds much like what the
logistics at fp.o list currently provides. Is the intent to replace that
cross-group facilitation as well as provide actual mediation for
disputes and such?
