A good solution here is to make it clear to visitors that= facilitation, mediation, and organisation help is badly needed in the core= development team.

People with= such expertise can even be hired directly.

A good facilitator opens communication paths between al= l parties, leaving everyone satisfied with decisions.=C2=A0 Don't accep= t a compromise if you can look for something better.

A committee to guide the commit= tee? You guys truly have lost the plot.

All the good minds and cryptographers have left Bitcoin. What remains is an empty echo chamber.

Truth is these problems start with lack of vision and long-term roadmap, not with the processes themselves.

And the Bitcoin Core monopoly created this situation; one coin, one
client, one vision. And the inevitable infighting for ultimate power.

Really if we want to go down this route, there should be a long period
of self reflection about where the problems began rather than patching
some process and moving on.

I propose Bitcoin Core is dissolved as the official Bitcoin project. The community is free to elect their preferred version of Bitcoin. And most
importantly, Bitcoin developers commit to a fully specced standard that
all implementations move towards using.
