Roadmap for my involvement

[Ed Pastore]

Conseo and Mike, do you think you could post something like this to  
the Metagov list, perhaps when you've resolved some of the questions

there are quite a few on that list who may be able to do it. A lot of  
people are looking for anything that can qualify as "usable" in  
whatever regard. Thanks!
