'org chart'

[Luis Villa <louie ximian com>]

Attached is a reasonably reviewed draft of the org chart. I expect a
more general discussion would lead to some more proposed changes and
clarifications (and possibly even outright additions) but it's gone
through at least one round with most of the affected groups.[1] I hope
that this helps us get a better idea of who we are and how we currently
relate to each other.

I expect that this should be a living document; it should be updated by
the board (or someone :) when team responsibilities grow and change, as
they inevitably will, or teams and groups get added and GNOME itself
grows.

Hope this is useful going forward-
Luis


[1]prime exception is the sysadmin list; I don't think there's anything
terribly controversial there. Might be wrong. :)
