Why not leverage the existing websites like VFUG? Instead, devote the time to

a) structuring and working up the contents
b) promote people to visit the site

The results are usually disappointing, when it comes time to work up a sweat, "we" usually turns into one person (me!) Usually that person gets lots of pats on the back, but not much else.

I figure if 4 people pony up $50 apiece (perhaps we can settle up at DevCon?), then we can buy a domain good for two years. We'll need a domain that is plain enough without violating any M$ copyrights. Then we try to get those dozens (hundreds?) of fox-related web sites to link to us, and vice-versa. A simple mission statement, some original contributions, it *might* get noticed.
