I don't object to creating a list enough to block the consensus, but as  
well as Anne's point, I wonder if we should be doing this in webapps or if  
we should be trying to support W3C's more general Dev Rel efforts instead.  
Which is partly a question to us, about the easiest way for us to provide  
any "helping others" capacity, and partly a question about how developers  
want help to get to them…
