charter: My comments

[Andy Thornton]

I am not sure that the current charter takes into account the 
interdependance of the projects.  We are aiming to make a complete 
*system* not just a set of independant projects.  Perhaps a mechanism is 
required so that projects towards the left of a path (ie those that 
depend on the sub-projects to their right) can more easliy require things 
of their sub-projects.  

I have been studying software engineering group organisation as part of my
degree at the moment and I think thet we run the risk of democratic
overload with too many votes and politics and not enough work? 

Maybe I am been a little paranoid but I think it is a risk we should 
consider...
