That sounds good to me :-)

My only concern would be around the issue of finding the time and energy
to dedicate to the project to make it a sucess, but I guess if we find
enough people interested in this then we should be able to make it
happen.

Perhaps we should register archiforge.org|net|com and start doing some
planning.
