If you've followed the thread, you should know we don't want to start 
everything from scratch.

We want to send a proposal to all the authors/ex-authors of other CAD efforts, 
be they dead, dormant, whatever and try and bring as many people and as much 
ideas and code together as possible.

Although, often, a second effort competing product can spur improvements via 
competition, to date, there seems to be over a dozen attempts which is just 
too much of a dillution of limited CAD programming resources.
Despondent and disillushioned programmers have fallen away.

United we stand, too divided we fall.

Endless talk without action isn't effective either.  There has been a good 
couple of weeks of discussion.  I don't want to see it go on indefinetely 
with no concrete move forwards.
