* Setting up a proper voting process (I recall how many pages were spent on that, but since then the voting seems to work as planned)
I recall how each of these ideas was voted, then assigned to one of committee members, which was responsible for the delivery of the said idea. The impressive part was how quickly and efficiently these ideas were executed.
That must have happened after I left.
But the voting problems were precisely caused by the lack of leadership!
* Hiring additional developers to work on NXT wallets and extensions (resulting in one of best looking web wallets out there)
* Launching the first multi-pool
* Establishing a brand - professional video clip (better then BTC on my test), media print-outs, etc...
Wesley and other devs started working on their clients long before committees.
And when it comes to financing, committees have no advantages over a single person, but many drawbacks:
* Slowness.
* Lack of integrity.
* The kind of people who end-up on committees are usually the people who should not be on those committees. And people who should, aren't.
* Horizontal structure makes everybody expect equal treatment of their ideas. This makes whatever they produce a horrible, bloated mess of politics and compromise.
