But bear in mind that both Guido and Linus became Benevolent Dictators
by springing their open source project onto the world, not exactly
fully formed, but at least in a usable state.  All it takes is for
someone to sit down and bang out somethign that people can play with
and then improve.  You do need someone with a strong architectural
sense to avoid it getting unbearably crufty though.

Hmm, I don't really have any plans for July...
