Hi,

Ok, what defined the "existing body of developers" in light of the below
pointed questions?

Indeed developer seems not to be the best term. It sounds like the way a
board of a non-profit body works. It *could* be a development board for
PD. I think using the ideas of board goverence would make things
somewhat smoother, and actually could in the future faciliate a legal
non-profit since in a way we would manage it as one.

Where to start?
