I have a goofy blog at blogger. Is there some mechanism for having an ASF

If you post your content here we'll get it up there for you (we've not
really worked out access rights to the blog yet so I'll not assume my
own preference is universal at this point).

I'm sure that I could find some references on this subject, but I'm more
inclined to type up a somewhat personal introduction to consensus process
and see if anyone thinks that it's worth further work and eventual
publication.
Starting with a personal blog post on the topic would be great.
You may want to look at the content at
http://www.oss-watch.ac.uk/resources/meritocraticGovernanceModel.xml - in
particular section 2.4
This document discusses the mechanics of consensus and decision making in a
meritocratic project. However, it does not discuss the social aspects.
It's always been my intention to bring that content here, but I've not
found the time yet. It's currently CC-BY-SA, but I'm happy to make it
available under an Apache Licence if it would compliment your work in any
way.
