How about we try this for the desktop community, and do a trial run to see how
it works? I'd be happy to come up with a simple form for people to fill in
similar to GNOME's -

  http://foundation.gnome.org/membership/application.php

and get a few people from the community approving them? Given that we have 2
roles in the constitution currently, one for contributor and the other for core
contributor, we need some way of dividing them. Anyone have any thoughts?
