+Romain, that sound like a very rigid regimented structure that I fear

+I don't see the point in strictly classifying people in either masters 
+or slaves (sorry, freudian slip, i meant apprentices) because skill 
+levels are a lot more varied and fluid than just two classes.
+
+Of course there will be mentors and mentored but there is no need to 
+create a rigid two class structure with priviledges for the master 
+class.
+
+This sounds very much against the spirit of a collaborative community to 
+me.
