Yes and no. We've got this important historical document:

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors deems it to be in the best
       interests of the Foundation and consistent with the
       Foundation's purpose to establish a Project Management
       Committee charged with coordinating community development
       efforts.

       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a Project Management
       Committee (PMC), to be known as the "Apache Community
       Development Project", be and hereby is established
       pursuant to Bylaws of the Foundation; and be it further

       RESOLVED, that the Apache Community Development Project
       be and hereby is responsible for helping people become
       involved with Apache projects; and be it further

But as to what that *means*, that's up to us to define, and we haven't
done that. Or, at least, the current incarnation of ComDev has not.

Of the initial list of people involved in that effort, only Ross is
still here, and he tends to be very, very busy with other things.

Yes, that seems like a very good starting point, and fleshing that out
into specific activities was the intent of the thread that was started
earlier this month on private@ and needs to be brought to this list.
