I read this list because I am interested - I didn't involve myself in the
discussion when this came up because:

1) It looked like a very good idea!
2) I don't (unfortunately) have the time to volunteer and take part.
3) I felt the people involved were quite capable of getting on an
organising themselves.

As others have said Podz is one of those people who makes the support
forums  and WordPress as good as they are.

All of you please keep up the good work!
