I think it's a sensible move to evaluate people's / organizations'
needs so that we can take a rational decision about the next move. We
*do* have a whole bunch of mailing lists at present, so it's not like
we don't have somewhere to talk things through. The thing is to get
the subject on the table and get the SC involved in the discussion,
which is what is happening now.

Another possibility is that we could ask for a slot on the Talkyou
account and have a little conference about Base. Or we could put Base
on one of the SC callconf agenda and discuss the subject there.

The thing is to keep the communication rolling, and to have concrete
proposals to make - and to concretely get involved in some action,
after we've had a survey and brainstorming process to figure out what
to do next.

So I think we're on the right path already. Let's get down to the
subject in hand. :-)

As ever, 2 cents.
