There is way too much deliberation on how to start this dialog.
I would therefore like to restate an idea that has just been 
brought up by Mike Harris:

Why don't we turn this list into a forum where different related
projects can meet and discuss their ideas? In a way it has been
this from the beginning. We just have to shift from discussing
*how* to discuss things to actually doing it.

Maybe this idea is too bold ;-)
