Maybe we need a reqular 'Ask Me Another...' type post by someone who can authoritatively
pull the thoughts and comments together into a coherent starting point for discussion?

Yes, I think that's a very good idea.
It's also better if someone of us writes such an article and then you join the discussion than if steemitblog does it itself, because then there will be just vuel too many comments à la "Great idea, sir!" - you can forget constructiveness then.

At the same time, I would find it good if none of us "rushes ahead" now, but we also get together in a small working group to discuss the further procedure. Haha, yes, I'm a pedagogical team worker.... ;-)
My "problem" is that I'm just not a full-time Steemian. I have a job, animals, family, responsibilities, friends and other hobbies - I can't write articles every day (although I can write, hahaha) and deal with long discussions. It's only either or - if at all.
