Brian this sounds like a fun and useful project. I'm up to starting a 
project with you, and anyone else interested if you're up to it. I don't 
want to do it alone, but I'd love to be apart of a small group making 
this happen.

If you are interested, let's see who else is interested in joining and 
then set up on a online chat session so we could talk about project 
scope, deliverables, etc...and get this party moving.

What d'ya say?
