>> Rather, it is a form of democracy with the ability to actually *implement* an idea forming a strong component of decision making. Who shall bell the cat? If nobody is willing to implement, the idea won't get done.

>> Do-acracy means that a willingness to implement gives your voice more weight.

>> What I see on the mailing list is a lot of people doing things unilaterally, without consultation. I'm pretty sure the -acracy suffix is there for a reason. It means you should talk to people before you do anything major, or something you know will piss people off. "I'm willing to move things around, so I get to decide on my own how Noisebridge will be organized" is a very un-excellent attitude.
