I didn't say it in my previous message, but I think it's important that
members be organizations, not individuals.  Of course, an organization
can _be_ an individual, as we've seen in many small projects.  But it
shows a committment beyond just a casual interest to set up a project
and advertise it to the world.  Honest effort is a requirement, but not
a sufficiency.  It has to be a _continuing_ effort if Schoolforge
membership is to be more than signing a petition in support of
something, with no further work required.
