I don't suppose any of the people expressing interest in this thread would be interested in taking a lead in organising something?

I can definitely see the Board agreeing to support something like this - financially and otherwise as required - but far easier to do if there is a volunteer who isn't on the Board who can scope it, find times, venues and so on.

* javascript
* css
* templating
* bot coding

* category hacking ?
