It may be a little too late to turn this ship around yet thought it deserved a mention.
It seems to me that here we are on a leading edge decentralized software platform and it appears an attempt is being made to mimic the disfunctional US Senate.
Anonymous is a decentralized organization which fits our didgital age. There is no leadership. No criteria of membership and participation in Ops being totally voluntary; with no punishment or ostracization for not taking part in Ops.
Staying with the fish metaphor employed on this platform, imagine a school of Dolphins swimming about with one common goal... the betterment of the platform. There is no right or wrong, just different opinions and priorities in that common goal.
To be effective a common area/forum would be helpful to debate Ops/Projects. Access could be software checked to ensure the registering user is a Dolphin. Probably SteemConnect should be enployed in that process.
Once a forum is available then all kinds of objectives/projects/ops could evolve.
Otherwise what seems to be evolving is a centralized organization with a certain few holding the keys (pun intended 😎)
LoL I wouldn't want to hold the keys. We are looking at multisig to control any central account.
The key differences (no pun intended 😋) is that there is no compulsion. People are free to join and leave and rejoin.
My concern is that we currently have people swimming all over the place and just by taking up this exercise I have made some great connections. Even if we could act as some form of umbrella group that wrote reports on key changes we wanted from witnesses on the next hard fork, that would be progress in my view.
As much as I like liquid democracy and other more forward thinking ideas, we do need some structure and direction to get this moving. I would much rather be part of a small effective group than one where everyone gives ideas but nothing gets done.
As much as we are moving to a new paradigm, to throw out everything we humans have learnt about cooperation and the need for some structure would be a mistake in my view.
If someone is on steem, they are already part of a lose collective. I have seen that turn into a farce over the last year, which is why I thought about this project.
Thanks for your input. Feel free to propose any changes, as I have said from the outset, I want this to be a collaborative project.

I would say that a level of organisation is needed for any project to move forward. The STEEM blockchain is the decentralized platform to post, debate and share ideas whereas this is one of the projects to evolve on it. It should be without many obligations and should create more projects internally when there is a good group of committed people working together.
We have seen how much the blockchain was floundering over the past two year without any serious direction and it has only started making progress when people took charge and started organizing efforts. I would like to see groups form in the discord with different purposes and projects that can them be supported by the main account. It should be a user led effort with the backing to help it grow.
