Feminist SF Wiki:Process
The FSFwiki is a newborn, as of April 23, 2006. Process will be developed, hopefully in a consensus manner. If processes don't develop in a consensus manner, and things start to fall apart in a typically leftist/feminist/movement in-fighting ugliness, then the user administration triumviraga will step in. If the triumviraga falls apart, then, by the nine-tenths of the law that is possession, Lquilter will make the decision. But the goal is to set up self-maintaining processes that don't require such interventions. This page will be a home for this information.
