Statement of problem
Please be brief and specific in your request (polar questions are best) and add relevant links if available. Please state a time frame in which you expect a decision.
Having a minimum of bureaucracy is desirable from at least two perspectives:
- It saves time that could be used instead to make contributions more central to the project's mission
- It reduces the probability of pointless arguments and the emotional payload that comes with them, especially in a virtual environment in which very few participants know each other personally.
Which mechanisms do we have in place that help determine the minimum of bureaucracy appropriate to a given task? In any case, strengthening them seems like a good idea. --Daniel Mietchen 20:31, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
