I'm not certain it's correct to say that the advisory board is an
entity which governs OpenDev; it's a source of input into decisions
made by the group and/or coordinator but it's not a decision-making
authority. I'm also not sure it's an incorrect way to phrase it
either: GCIDE definition #2 of "govern" does include "to influence"
as a possible interpretation there. So it still might work, I'm just
slightly worried about future misinterpretation of the intent behind
that choice of word.

Overall though, I think this is excellent and embodies the idea
elegantly--thanks again--great stuff!
