I would go even further and say that we should just cool things down, 
wait for the official SC answer --- a sort of freeze. If Drupal is 
picked, we have an abundance of committed webmaster help and training 
help and it will be put together quite quickly. I don't think we will be 
serving any purpose by spending time filling out pages on a "potential 
website" only to have that work nullified by a pick for the opposing CMS.

The SC gave us till the end of the week and even hinted that we were not 
progressing fast enough.

So, we should all take a breath and relax. LibO still has the remnants 
of its umbilical cord showing as it is still so close to its birth. We 
are just finding out today that OOo will be represented at a Spanish 
event and he is being flown in from Canada. I guess this pretty well 
establishes the fact that Oracle+OOo have no plans on cooperating with LibO.

A couple of extra days delay will not kill the project.

We could take some time to register a members page on the Wiki so that 
we are easily identified. That would be nice too! I'll try to put a 
photo on mine ... and then you will definitely know why I am not 
participating on high end graphics projects!

Cheers
