Hi,<br><br>I chatted to George in the IRC about some projects/initiatives complimentary to what's being discussed here. The following thread should give you some background and an idea how things are moving forward with one of them - <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832">http://groups.drupal.org/node/15832</a><br>
<br>The aggregation element has been broken out into it's own subproject (<a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/16873">http://groups.drupal.org/node/16873</a>) and the goal is to create something modular that could easily be set up on the Dojo site, on official channels (g.d.o./d.o.), or anywhere else it would make sense.<br>
<br>There's already a good foundation, skilled team coming together, and it would great to combine forces build something that would be very valuable to the community. <br><br>Come join the fun!<br>
