Hi John, I like your ideas. The one thing that I feel is a must is that we all decide the what, when, who and where via a common consensus (vote). We need one person ultimately responsible for the final format. If all of us decide to exert our strong wills and say "I'll go along, but only if..." then this will go nowhere. I've volunteered to "moderate" this endeavour, whether it's me, or not, I could care less. But someone must or we're never going to get anything accomplished. I've already written Pentax with my requests. I believe if 100 or more people did so at the same time it could pack some punch. To do that we must hammer out a format agreeable to everyone, not an easy task. Everyone must agree to go along with the common consensus, whatever that turns out to be.
