Right, I meant capable of managing, not capable of providing
external motivation for people to be managed.

In a community this large, I would expect to *occassionally* call
for volunteers and actually get some significant help, but that
hasn't been the case, really, ever. =A0It's kind of disturbing,
honestly. =A0I wonder what is wrong.

I can't answer that question, but the whole issue of volunteers= (or lack thereof) with Lojban makes an interesting case study.=A0
