So, in a sense you did have a formal Website membership set up that only 
seasoned members knew about, but to a new person, that membership was 
invisible. To me, it would seem clearer to members if the TDF/LibO 
Website Team membership list was visible and then the new member would 
clearly know who spoke with authority, this would provide more clarity. 
If that new member or any member for that matter really wanted to take 
part in a more tangible way, she/he would join. It would still not stop 
the rest of the community from having our say. We would then have no 
problem leaving the final decision to the TDF/LibO Website Team membership.

 so their opinion was more important than comments from
> "newbies".

Hmmm ... Not sure if I would agree with this. I am a "newbie" so am I to 
understand that my help and discussion on this thread is considered less 
than yours or others. I have never heard of you and don't even know if 
you speak with authority and there is nowhere to read if you are new or 
a seasoned member. If I am asked to contribute and then told that my 
vote is less in the end, then why would I contribute at all? If I knew 
of a list of registered members of the TTDF/LibO Website Team, then I 
would know that my opinion will be heard but that the core Website team 
will decide. Wouldn't that work better?

If they are decided as you describe, well maybe, we, as a group, should 
try to rethink it. There should be more clarity for the whole of the 
membership. I am not sure if you can have a cooperative group of people 
when you work this way.
