Hi Scott, There doesn't need to be only one 'leader'. If anyone feels they can do something for the group, feel free to chime in. Often the best way to get something done is to just do it. That's how a lot of online communities get going. If you wait for approval/consensus you might never get it. It's actually very easy to be active in an open source group, but many seem hesitant or shy to do so. Don't be.
A problem in many communities I've seen is that people expect the same 'leaders' to do everything, and nothing gets done since those people are continuously stretched in many different directions. They'd actually be grateful if you offered to take some of their burden. Here's a little secret: there's nothing very special about the 'leaders' other than that they decided to step forwards and make sure that things get done. So remember, just do it :) 2009/9/4 Scott Evans <sc...@vk7hse.hobby-site.org> > > Thanks to all that have sent a reply thus far... > > I'm collecting the information to use as a guide to get the feel for what > people want/expect/like/whatever! from ubuntu-au > > BTW I'm not saying that I want to take control over ubuntu-au!
