I just look at this thread in a sort of stunned awe.

It wasn't that long ago before we were scrambling to have any community 
invovlement at all.

Now we're trying to figure out how to articulate a coherent vision on 
behalf of 13,000 people -- a number that continues to grow, by the way, 
despite the occasional doubts that we feel about whether we are on the 
right track.

This is an extremely high-class problem to have.  I'm exceedingly grateful 
that we continue to be relevant enough to have this kind of conversation.
