3 a president-like figure to run things, elected id say would be best, maybe 1
4 year terms or something, cannot be overruled but elections can be called
5 early if some overly high percentage of council/others express concerns
6 about the person... otherwise their word is final, see that would at least
7 give things direction, and the person is removable but only with some kinda
8 concensus among devs... id also think this person should be independent of
9 groups such as the council/devrel/etc if so...
