 * Getting us to a stage when members can contribute code ... how, ETA?
 * (discussion 2011.05.06):
 * an adopted Architecture & API is definitely crucial, but that's not all
 * All team members are encouraged to mull over how we can get to that state effectively
 * in particular ... how do we make this a "successful" community-driven, open source project!?
 * (discussion 2011.06.03)'' ...


 * code development on an Eclipse IDE for all?


 * Code repository - considering "git" or github?
