Hello Mirek,
I like the pamphlet. One small criticism: I think the pamphlet tends to mix goals and programs. It calls, for example, for decentralization and expanded initiative/referendum. Both are desireable. But I see the former as a goal; while I see the latter as a program.
You also asked about chat versus action. I'm oriented towards accomplishing positive change. I'm not much interested in discussion that is completely dissociated from action. I'd like to see WDDM as an actual player in moving toward direct democracy. That is to say, an organization that takes stands, and develops expectations and models of direct democracy through that process of taking stands and acting on them.
