I see two contradictory statements! Either it works and we don't need
the second team, just some patience with Joel to allow another admin
(who can in turn make more) or Launchpad is broken and we need to do
something more than just create a new team.

I feel that things like this that quite fundamentally affect how the
group functions should be discussed on the ML before they are done -
decisions like who has admin rights, what to do with the old group and
how the new one functions are the business of all of us. With a
meeting coming so soon, and with many of the list members advocating a
breather before storming ahead with Edgy I think this could easily
have been delayed until a consenus was reached.

One thing I learned from the wey the theme choosing was handled in the
end was that we need to have defined leaders and decisive action
(which seems to be happening), another was that there needs to be
clear discussion to make sure everyone understands what is happening,
and that at least a majority support what it. Unlike then (and I
recognise that we can't all always discuss everything), there is no
need for unilateral, rushed action that can lead to discontent and an
interuption in the process of getting real things done,

Obviously, we need to find a balance! I'ts great things are moving again.
