   Agreed.

   I think it's a great idea... I had already started the process of
   applying at SF a couple months ago... Your email prompted me to
   complete it :)  Pending approval, hopefully we'll get an SF project.

   As for a wiki, I do not know much about running one, nor do I really
   like the idea of CGI on my webserver :)  If you have a place (and
   the skillz) to set one up, please do...  I think a useful wiki would
   be great.
