User:Revenant/Sandbox/PageFoundry/Devolution of power

I intend for this to eventually move to Open Discussion and probably Policy Discussion, but for now I'm organising my thoughts. Feel free to chime in at the usual location. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 01:58, 8 June 2011 (BST)

Community works best when its members feel empowered. It has been long-standing practice on this wiki for power to be concentrated in the hands of a select few, which breeds envy and all manner of foolish fruits thereof.

Here I intend to pose and explore the following questions:

1. What powers are reserved to Kevan that can be devolved to the wider community?
   • What subset of (1) should be devolved?
2. What powers are reserved to System Operators that can be devolved to the wider community?
   • What subset of (2) should be devolved?
3. How can this best be accomplished?
