I'll take 2 examples : ldp-submit and moving from ldp-l to ldp-discuss.
- ldp-submit was decided after a very short consultation, and was
immediately ready.
- moving from ldp-l to ldp-discuss took month and caused major problems.
When we had no response from metalab, deciding to move to another site
caused many problems, but 2 days later everything was available on
metalab.
I'm not saying we must always act without consultation, but sometimes
you need that, or the problem will never end.

Please develop this.
Evil, nasty, greedy, uncooperative, egoist?

Improving. Was worst this summer with slashdot articles.

By far better than old private one.

Improving. ftp will complete ldp-submit soon.

If you can help us finding prizes for contests, and money for expos,
please help us.
