Which finds me in a dilemma, given that I'm going on holiday in a week. Part 
of me wants to start as soon as possible, but I think it's better if I wait 
until I'm back, unless I find someone else who is willing to put work behind 
it like Erik and me.

What needs to be done?
* set up a Wiki, preferably with the DNS entry as well
* get notification out to people who have shown interest
* get notification out to the various projects
* have discussions about policy and setting up a structure
* get some people starting with uploading
* get people working on coding issues

I need help from the technicians for #1, and would put the responsibility 
for #6 with Erik. The main question is #4 and #5. If there are people not 
only willing to help with that but to actually take the leading role, I 
would want to ask #1 to be done ASAP, and do #2 and #3 and then get started. 
If not, I will wait with those steps until I return, which will be in 3 
weeks.
