Well the one main question I have isn't something I really want to ask in public.
As far as promises are concerned... what I hate is when people or groups make elaborate promises but fail to actually implement most of them. Politicians come readily to mind. (They're like that down here, and I'm sure up there too!). The best way to answer questions is to actually do things. Mind you, keeping people in the dark is also a good way to breed distrust. It tends to make people think either, a) Changes aren't being made at all, or B) Changes are being made, but they don't want us to know what they are. Public relations are a bit of a tight rope walk.
I've never felt large committees were a smart way to run anything at all. Try to have ten people run something and they'll want to do things eleven different ways.
Anyway, for the people actually working on the guts of the website, the best of luck, because I'm pretty sure you'll need it. lol
