There is, IMHO, an important difference between community and committee. A
community is a group of people, with one or more similar interests, who
group together to (in this case) get a job done. A committee is a group of
people that meet to discuss what should be done, rather than actually
getting something done.

I have nothing against communities, but I have had no good experiences with
committees.

Just me 2c
