I'd rather see the link directory be well architected than reflect majority
opinion. This would require a few thoughtful, knowledgeable, and fair people to
give a little bit of time to maintaining it. This isn't voting on major policy
here, we don't need to defer to 'majority opinion' for every single decision.
Deciding how to present links hardly requires a democratic process at the
day-to-day operational level.
The Open Directory Project (www.dmoz.org) relies on 'editors,' volunteers who
are selected to manage the categories of links. There's an application and
approval process also. Even they don't allow everyone to have administrative
powers over the link directory.
Too many cooks in the pot isn't a good thing. It will create a mess. LUGNET
doesn't allow everyone to curate newsgroup web pages either.
