this.

Centralised blogging can kinda suck, so I would prefer we don't do so much
of that. So, we just need people to let us know what's been published thus
far.

objects that make folks identify with a community.

Re: utilitarian reason, thats the topic of my other post.

Everything else, that is pretty much what i mean - we need a feed and one
or more curators.  I have seen at least a dozen related things, it would be
good to collect them and provide a feed/compendium of resources.  You
should encounter some of that when you find the group.

When I joined the CSS WG i got a nice "welcome, here's some stuff..." email
from one of the chairs - it would be great to do the same and have some
things to point to.
