[Incubator] decision making article and discussion

[Frank Warmerdam]

Jody,

I see a couple lessons:

 - the real act of openness is to let go of control/ownership to the
community.
 - the importance of defining a mechanism to make decisions when consensus
is less obvious (*before* a problem arises).

Thanks for sharing.

Fondest regards,
Frank
