In my experience it's very hard to have people just do things and have
it done right. There'd probably also be a lot of duplication of effort
going on pretty soon. Some coordination is necessary for any effort
undertaken by multiple people. I'm totally new to this list, but if
you'll excuse my boldness, I'd suggest something like an online
clearinhouse for ideas and tasks.

Open source development benefits greatly from things like bugzilla, why
shouldn't other efforts be able to do the same? A crossbreed between a
forum and bugzilla would seem ideal. It would eliminate duplication of
effort and allows people to get inspired by the ideas of others. A
mailing list is good for discussion, but doesn't allow its members to
manage a common task list. I'm sure there must be a free online task
management system available that could fill this role.

If my idea appeals to you I'm willing to dig deeper into possibilities
for this and set up a server to give it a try. I don't have the biggest
pipe in the world to the internet, but it'd be a start..

Of course, since I'm new to this list, this may have been proposed many
times before, making my post redundant. In that case I'm sorry for
wasting your time..
