We don't have a structure here. We all know that. Adam runs the web space, and we all go about our business. We write our ages, we code our tools, and we generally leave each other alone.
What we do have is a rather scary structure document. Read it over. It implies (and even specifies) a lot of authority and control that's simply not exercised, and if it ever was exercised there'd be a mutiny. But outsiders don't know that. People new to the GoW don't necessarily know that.
I propose that we dissolve the current guild structure, and in its place build a charter about fostering innovation, encouraging community involvement, and specifying clearly that there is no "leadership". There should be some procedure put in place for creating new sub-forums (currently this is just at Adam's whims?), so that it's clear there's no exclusive "club". I'm not going to pretend to know exactly how to phrase all of this, but I will try to put some sort of more precise proposal together later today.
So... comments?
EDIT: if anyone thinks this should be in public discussion, I have no objections to moving it. I wanted to make sure none of the councilors/directors/representatives were particularly attached to the old system before making the discussion public.
