Hey Jason, agreed, that is out of the question.
But this is not advocacy-discuss.
*Some* more discussion about how to implement the technical details, who 
will work on what etc. would be nice.
Maybe this is what the summit is intended for, to set-up such a 
skeleton. Every project needs a precise action plan and a schedule (even 
if those are unlikely to ever be reached in time). One can start simple 
and incomplete at the beginning, but one has to start.
I think the technical aspects and the marketing related topics 
absolutely do depend on one another. I just like to discuss (and build) 
the content first, before going to find a nice gift-wrapping.

A desire for a SPARC-version of Indiana doesn't exist, does it?
If so, why isn't anybody discussing, not to mention working, on it?

Regards,
Martin
