+1 for this, definately. However, we should crawl before we can walk: initially we should all concentrate on junit tests and doc for the seed code.
As soon as that's over, a subgroup like this should be set up. All too often I see topics like this crop up towards the end of dev cycles - giving everyone headaches. If we can get this right from the start, especially a great web console and ant tasks, we'd be in a great position.
