I wasn't suggesting on going behind doors, I completely agree on
transparency and openness towards the outside of fesco.

A model that may keep fesco workload low could be the following:

o the community/fesco has some suggestions, these are evaluated by
  fesco and discussed with the community with a given time cut-off,
  where fesco has to come to a conclusion. All this happens in public,
  but if the discussion doesn't reach a consensus you have the time
  cut-off, where fesco members simply vote on the issue.

o When a decision is made to attack something then fesco can decide to
  create a task force to actually perform the work, e.g. outsource the
  workload, and move on.

o More often than not these task forces will be people from fesco or
  at least headed by them who should gather forces from the community,
  e.g. by calling for volunteers on a list this this one.

Does that make any sense? It keeps fesco workload down and tries to
involve the community as much as possible.
