Never mind :)

Is there a list of all participants available? It would be nice to have
a short overview of you folks out there :)

IMHO, we should avoid reinventing the wheel. There's so much information
floating around, but it's often hard to find. Mirroring is ok, especially

That sounds like a good start up. We shouldn't spend too much time on
discussing the details...
