Of course, but the council should be helping any project which needs it - but that "help" should never really extend beyond facilitation. Bigger projects need more, and ongoing, help to get more contributors.

What "facilitation" means is up to the council members and the projects involved. I do not think it would work, hypothetically, to have the council "run" the CSSU project on a day-to-day basis; it needs a continual vision, not someone who changes every six months. But the council can help with the discussions around how project management should work, and push for people to step up and suggest ways which could be taken on.
