Yes, me too ;-)
I'm volunteering to help with the organisation, but since my time is
limited as well, I think there's definitely a need for more people. I'm
compiling a list of the 'me too's' sofar that I still have in my mailbox
and will post that later this day. If anyone wants to be added, I
suggest you send mail to me, not to the list.

Maybe if the project really takes off and the discussions tend to get
rather project specific.

I'd go for rtfm. It seems to be the most appropriate goal, not to mention
the fact that splitting profits (if any) might prove to be difficult as
well.
