 Yes, I agree that it will be helpful to do this.

 Right now, I am focused on the mundane task of moving
 away from Savannah because it has become unreliable
 and because basic requests could not be satisified. 

 This does open up the door for more involvement in a wider audience
 using the site. Organizing bug reports, organizing material and
 opening up a mechanism for bug submissions, repairs and group  
 development make sense.

 We want to engage more people in having a broad and effective
 support for cfengine. 

 At the same time, we don't want to create a lot of friction or 
 break in anyway the cfengine development process.

 My intent is to:

    a) solve the mundane task of moving the site
    b) add more features as sourceforge allows
    c) facilitate discussion and collaboration and team building
       that will lead to a strong development program for cfengine.
    d) To facilitate Mark getting more out of the cfengine
       group process.

 To that end, I will be looking for a way to engage in fruitful
 conversations that lead us to team building. I will be looking
 to mark for validation, vetting and definition of the process
 that will work for him. 


 Does this help the conversation at all?
