Hey guys, great stuff as usual!

I'm specially interested in the last two points (in the process
section); although, pedantically speaking, I don't think anyone can
'build' a community, those two points are pretty much what I've been
thinking about (as a very low priority background thread in my brain)
for the last number of months. It would be cool to hangout and share
some thoughts. You guys up for it?

cheers,
José
