I agree too that there are still a number of challenges for any projects like this getting off the ground. But who knows . . . maybe, it's just a timing thing. Thanks for the interest and kind words... Wow, that is great info, Jeff.

Great preso, by the way - I'm a bit skeptical than this problem can be solved outside the commercial vendor space, given the history of the JAKE project, but it's a fine idea if enough people can commit to it.

I think I am leaning at the moment toward setting up a Public Google Group. People should be able to subscribe to this as an e-mail listserv, rss feed, or just check the group page every once in a while. Plus, all the "cool kids" are already doing it. e.g. http://groups.google.com/group/apml-public and http://groups.google.com/group/dataportability-public Hmmm, I think I agree w/ Toni that something that allows e-mail posting is going to reach the greatest # of people.
