Hi Sébastien, |

Thanks for the nice summary of the current state |

of affairs. |

I think if we decide that we want a leader we should clearly |
| 11 |
define what we expect her/him to do. We're a very diverse |
| 12 |
bunch and the packages in science.g.o span a wide range of |
| 13 |
fields so I am not 100% convinced that a lead will necessarily |
| 14 |
be very effective. On the other hand, there are a few things |
| 15 |
that definitely need improvement, documentation and eclasses |
| 16 |
being some candidates here, and it might be nice to have somebody |
| 17 |
who feels responsible and coordinates/delegates a bit. I'd |
| 18 |
probably need a nudge once in a while ;) |

Better docs are definitely something we need. It would probably be |
| 29 |
good to either have a dev or maybe one of our users assess and then |
| 30 |
coordinate this a bit. |
