It was meant as a "Please don't try and be an armchair project manager. Rather, jump in and start doing things." Debian is, as far as I have seen, the best working example of a merticracy. People lead by example. They don't just yell out "I want this" and wait for other people to do it. They start doing and if it is a good idea and catches the interest of others, they also jump in and start doing.

It is worth noting that things are progressing in this manner because of all of the work being done by people willing to volunteer. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.
