Sure, but how to get to that point in the first place?

Sounds like something to consider :-). A few hours on saturday won't
see much new code written, but could be quite useful for getting
organized and distributing work. Anyone else having some interest in
this?

Setting up some an IRC meeting, as we did in the past, once a month,
could serve the same purpose. But in all cases, we need to be a few
developers at least, and need to define reasonable tasks that could be
completed in the time between meetings. Advertising the results in
some way to the general audience, as suggested by Chris, doesn't seem
like a bad idea either.

Stockholm would be a nice place to visit. I'll definitely consider
that. Might have to turn it into a family trip, however.
