Document length
This is a pretty long and complex document for a first pass at governance of a small project. Most of the details (of becoming a member, having specific committees, or contributing as an organization) could more simply be left on their own pages, and the core gov documents reduced to a few dozen lines. +sj + 03:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
