So I guess the way I view this is more that when a member project wants
to "request" stuff like this, the way that should work is by having some
of the people in that project get more actively involved in SPI and make
it happen -- which is pretty much what Joshua's doing.

As long as that doesn't end up as trying to force other projects to
be involved in projects when they don't want to -- which is possible,
but I think easily avoidable if we keep it in mind -- then it's all good.

Obviously, YMMV, but free software and grass roots activities and
promotion in the US really seems like something that could do a lot of
good to me.
