Bounties secound try (agree or bash just spell my name right;)

[Ely Levy]

Should we put up some commity or task force (I don't remember which one
was the right terminolgy)?

I think there is much chance in convincing people after we have
a solid made plan/offer.

Is anyone intrested in joining up?:)
