Hi Dom, All,

Sorry for the delayed `intro`. Unfortunately, I don't foresee this group 
moving up on my priority list so my overall working mode here will be 
`lurker`.

I did see something earlier this week that resonated with me and it may 
be somewhat relevant to this effort. Here it is (I don't have a URL):

[[
Native apps will not be usurped by HTML5 any time soon. HTML5 developers 
should not try to replicate something that already exists, they should 
try to create something different, and possible better. HTML5 is Not 
about replacing native applications; it's about creating awesome 
products using Web technologies.
]]

Anyhow, if `native app environments` are this group's enemy, it seems 
like the group should be a bit careful about the target(s) and not doing 
anything `collusive`.

BTW, the list above looks GTM (kinda' reads like the CoreMob charter ;-)).

-Cheers, AB
