Dave, I think you and Joel are the most experienced in this endeavour so it would be great if you two could lead the effort. I'm willing to help out if roughly told what to do and given the permissions to do it. For anyone interested, there already is a weblog maintained by Joel at http://angora.furfly.net:8000/weblogger/.
I'm in for a penny. We should start a new thread to talk about it - for instance we need to decide on the core approach before anything else. Then we should be able to divvy up the work amongst people.
