What do you do if you have open source software that does not do what you want? You have a lot of options:

I'm old fashioned so I'll assume there are per SW mailing lists (add web fora, your favourite walled garden 'social' network, ...) already. Would the additional benefit be the face to face opportunity?
Peter, we have thousands mailing lists about DNS and we still have two DNS sessions twice a year. (And I am happy about it!) I don't understand your point. It is very different to send a new feature list into a mailing list compared to presenting new features and discussing with users and seeing people's reaction.
There is a MAT WG with the 'T' in its name. What overlap can we expect between MAT and this proposed Open Source Tools WG?
I believe we should take the same approach as with DNS WG overlap. Ondrej
