I think it would be very good if we could agree on some general
design goals and principles before the discussion gets too detailed,
and incorporate these into an announcement. Obviously, they would
not be cast in stone, but I think that having a little bit of structure
from the outset would help in getting a focused and constructive
design process going, and I also believe that it is somewhat easier
to decide on that structure in a relatively small group. (Even
among us, there seems to be some quite different opinions on
what we are trying to achieve! ;-)

Of course, it maybe the case that not that many more people will join
anyway. Or maybe it is a good thing not to have any initial
"constraints". What do other people think?

In any case, I agree that we should announce the list before the
discussion gets detailed.

Regards,

/Henrik
