[hackerspaces] Do-ocracy at 140 members?

[quemener.yves at free.fr]

I thought that the main idea behind do-ocracy is that people who "do",
have the power. Protest is cheap, action is what is favored. So people 
who are ready to paint the bikeshed get to choose the color.

do-ocracy != democracy. Ask for forgiveness rather than permission and
in case of dissent, always consider forking.

A place with 140 hackers is awesome, but if you feel like it is getting
hard to get anything done, maybe it is time for a mitosis...
