Hi Elmar,

sorry for not writing earlier... I cannot post news at work.

Let's not jump to solutions. I think we could do better than that. :-)

I could well imagine to take over the coordination of a specific effort 
(e.g. like a solid partner management with all related issues). I would 
in no way like the task of an overall "extension coordinator".

I am currently working on a proposal for such a project and I am 
planning to post it to the Wiki by the end of the week (hopefully... :-)

Even though I have done some development, I do not consider myself a 
*real* developer. Coordinating a project with a specific goal would fit 
my "day-job" better, but I must say that I have not yet lead a "virtual" 
project in an open-source community. This would be a first for me.

Let me propose this:
1. I publish my project proposal in the Wiki
2. Anybody interested can join the discussion about the proposal for a 
week or so. (on the Wiki and in a separate thread)
3. If we can agree on the common base and if there is enough "manpower" 
interested in joining the team, we have a go.
4. If we get this far ;-) I want to have official support from the R&D 
committee. By support I do not mean financial support but things such as 
"management attention", agreement on the roadmap, review of the design, 
perhaps code-reviews of critical parts, etc.
5. Then we create the design, split it into development tasks and get going.

What do you think?
- Dave.
