It seemed to me that the thing with spreadkde.org was that it was a 
site/platform created for the sake of creating a site/platform.

I feel this, and the mass of talking but not doing, has been the primary cause 
of its lack of effect.

You mention you have ideas for content - why not skip the first 3 steps, and 
we can just co-ordinate the creation of effective content, the only thing 
people and users see anyway?

Me and Troy would surely entertain such a partnership!
