Has everyone gone into hibernation?
Have all interested parties subscribed to this new list?  (Can I stop
cross-posting?)

Assuming there is still interest in continuing, I suggest we come up

just my top-o-the-head ramblings.  Feel free to rearrange, question,
insert, or outright flame any of the following:
