Whoever acts as a project manager would need to be given the ability to 
override W&A as far as process is concerned. They shouldn't be able to 
create said process, but should be able to enforce it.

Remember their job would be to facilitate communication within the 
community not deal with burn down charts. Ensuring DIP's and spec remain 
up to date is a big part of that.

That is why I suggested it originally. It minimizes a lot of the 
existing problems we have had for years.
