Why quietly ? Is this a secret organization or !? If you value the community why
haven't you talked public *before* your project has started ?
I think that is something very much deep inside the community - the
love for secrecy.
Remember "Secret Six" - many years ago when Sun stopped Solaris x86.
Then OpenSolaris Pilot, then many OpenSolaris projects, that were done secretly.
It is quite hard to change people' mind and way of thinking. We (community) will
get there (being open) eventually, but it will take quite some time.
Maybe it's as simple as a few people getting sufficiently sick of seeing
the discussion boards full of people saying "Someone should do this" and
"Someone should do that"; and decided to simply do something instead of
complaining that someone else should do something?
