What I've been hearing in this thread is that accountability isn't the
main issue; transparency is. We already have people responsible for
the website, Scott and myself with Chris Messina and Will Norris
pitching in. Hold us accountable.
As one of the people who is accountable, I see the problem being
expressed is others not knowing how we make decisions or how they can
more easily contribute. That should be fixed. We've already shown
that others are able to contribute whether it be upgrading the
WordPress installation, writing site content, or blogging but all of
those currently require people seek us out if they want to contribute.
