I agree. I think it's a great idea.  I'll sign up.

I think that this discussion can deal with possible migration strategies
at a high level. I doubt that there will be much band width *in the near term*
to actually work out any technical details.

ZC (sigh) should probably set up the mailing list so that it shows
up prominantly on lists.zope.org.

Are you willing to be the list adminstrator?
