+Count me in. I don't know how much I'll be able to help, I've got a lot
+going in in meatspace now, but I really do want to see things moving along
+on this.
+What kind of plan do we need? (Maybe start that in a new thread?)

+Yes, I can see that. But part of the problem that we've had recently is
+with people not contributing.
+It's fine to say "If you contribute then you get a say in what happens" but
+if nobody is contributing....
+I can't really think of any alternative, since it is a very good way to do
+things.
+I'm just a little concerned about people not contributing.
