If we want to operate this project as an Open Source project we must be 
very open and allow users to join the PSC mailing list, so they can 
provide feedback and see project planning activity.

It seems odd to me that we are even considering making one aspect of a 
mailing list open and another closed.

Again if we want to operate this project as an Open Source project we 
must be very open - by making it easy for users/possible contributors to 
join discussions.

(I have more thoughts on this, but will use another email thread)

(same comment above about operating as an Open Source project)

+1 Jeff - for having a booth in Barcelona, that we can all share, to 
promote ZOO and own own companies.

0 - holding my vote on this until we discuss this at the next ZOO meeting

If you are looking for contributions by me, I know that I return from 
Japan on March 20th, and then another possible event in early April. 
The date suggested is not possible for me.

Can we discuss what resources are planned to meet this deadline? (who is 
doing what)  Maybe we could outline how many days of effort for each 
task also - we may find that we need a team of contributors for these. 
I'm also interested in hearing ideas from PSC members about how to 
generate some funding to support the required development.

-1 Jeff for now
