OK, my bad, my reference in reading english is http://www.wordreference.com/enfr/poll which seems to give a polysemous definition (vote, survey of opinions (indeed!), election). > Leading is not about taking the decisions, but about organizing the > decision process, by the community, for the community.

If a single person (or a small group) organizes the decision process for the community, then it is not by the community. I think this organizational task is also a collective task (this prevents situations like the one that is happening), hence i would not call that leading (if i still trust the on-line dictionary). Everybody should feel the right (perhaps even the duty) of doing such collective organization tasks, for example i opposed the way the text was written to the fact of opening an empty page on the wiki, but then Vincent opened it as anybody could have done, and i hope anybody can contribute, not only in giving feedback or fill existing wiki pages, but also in calling for feedback and creating wiki pages (or any kind of organization task). I guess we agree on that point, but i wanted to make it clear, i do not see any particularity of organization compared to other tasks, this is not a reserved area.
