Stefano wanted to know whether someone was starting something he was
interested in because he might want to contribute, if I understood him
correctly.
But I don't think it is really common practice (or even good form?, but
that's very debatable) to announce something if you are not ready to
release some code, many things can happen in-between (loss of interest,
unexpected -heh- lack of time, realization that there may be better
options...) and a premature announcement never fulfilled might end up
being worse than no announcement at all, since people might refrain to
take on a similar project to avoid duplicating efforts. A release, in
whichever stage, at least shows some commitment behind the project.
For released software there's already LAA (+planet mirror), as Robin says.
For unreleased one, I meant with my previous message that perhaps it
might be better to give a shout here: "hey, I miss such and such and I
am considering putting some hours into making it happen. A search for
similar projects didn't yield any results, has anyone something going
already along this line?"
But I dunno, it was just a minimum-effort proposal, lazy bugger that I
am. I see how you might perhaps, maybe, want to jump in something even
if you never thought of starting it, if you find its declaration of
intentions sufficiently inspiring.
