That's what I'm hearing and suggesting.

As I see it, we need a way to identify people interested in and willing
to take responsibility for particular issue areas; and a place for them
to discuss those issues. I'd be happy to see us use the ncsg-discuss
list for discussion (perhaps with a subject-matter tag), and the ning
site or a wiki to keep track of member interest and identify discussion
leaders. How's that for lightweight and yet effective?
