I don't want this level of bureaucracy in the project.  I think people
should be free to choose whether they want to work on a standalone daughter
language, or to form a group and make a group of related daughter languages,
and I think it will never get off the ground if we have a tier of people
waiting for another tier of people to finish.

Oh, and while I'm at it, I cast my vote against the guy that wants to put the
unrelated language in the world - this is primarily a language family project
that happens to be on an alternate world, not an alternate world project
that happens to have language families, so the focus should remain on the
language family.

As for the other votable questions, they seem to be satisfactorily resolved :)

Thanks,
Amanda
