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.

Let's see what others say, then we can discuss it at the DevCon.
